Republicans Milt Peterson and Jan Schar endorsed Terry McAuliffe for Governor of Virginia on Tuesday, the second announcement this week that major Republicans in Virginia are backing McAuliffe instead of GOP candidate Ken Cuccinelli. “As a Virginia Republican, and former President of the Virginia Federation of Republican Women, I am supporting Terry McAuliffe. Virginians want candidates who talk about creating a better future for the Commonwealth – this includes creating jobs, providing good education for our children so we have an educated workforce to attract the best companies here, and solving all the other problems currently facing Virginia, such as transportation, healthcare, and taxes. Virginia citizens, including Republicans, want candidates who will provide responsible fiscal management of our state government.“Virginia does not desire candidates who are so completely disconnected from the average Virginian that they are unable to leave their ideology and political views at the front door of their elected office.”
“The Commonwealth’s prosperity depends on the maintenance of Virginia’s positive business and educational environments. This year I am endorsing Terry McAuliffe for Governor of Virginia. As a successful business man, Terry knows the challenges business owners face in starting and growing their companies. He is committed to making sure that Virginia’s economy stays strong, to improving the state’s infrastructure and to sufficiently funding education to maintain Virginia’s high standards. As a Republican, I am confident that Terry McAuliffe will be committed to working with both parties in seeking solutions to challenges our communities face and will put in place policies that will diversify and grow our economy, create jobs and enhance education in Virginia. That is why I am supporting Terry for Governor.”
