Congrats, Albert!
I wanted to quickly send my congratulations to Albert Pollard and say thank you to his supporters for sending Albert back to Richmond. Albert won back his old seat in the House of Delegates yesterday during a special election and will bring back the same kind of independent thinking that helps keep Virginia moving forward.
Albert is yet another example of the kind of common-sense leader that we need in our government. By sending Albert back to Richmond, we have another a leader who is committed to building bipartisan coalitions in the House of Delegates that put the needs of Virginians above partisan politics.
Albert’s win yesterday also represents another win for Virginia Democrats and continues to further the consecutive gains we’ve made since 2003. The results continue to show that Virginians recognize good government when they see it, and Virginia Democrats know how to govern.
