JODY WAGNER ANNOUNCES BID FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
“I’m running for Lieutenant Governor because as a mom and a small business owner, I know that we need steady, proven leadership in Richmond,” Wagner says in the announcement. “Leaders who keep Virginia’s fiscal house in order. Leaders who understand how to help Virginia’s small businesses thrive. Leaders who know that investing in education is the way to make sure our children succeed.”
Wagner also drew a contrast with current Lt. Governor Bill Bolling.
“Unfortunately, there are too many politicians in Richmond – including our current Lieutenant Governor – who disagree with this commonsense approach.
