<bt>To the Editor:
I think it is great to have a conservative who believes in conserving. I learned recently that House of Delegates candidate Robert McDowell (R) is a true conservationist. As an Audoboun Society member, McDowell has helped establish a sanctuary for the endangered bluebird on his family’s farm near Tysons. He supports tax incentives for those who donate to the Virginia Land Conservation Fund and increased incentives for landowners to leave their land undeveloped.
As a Republican, Rob McDowell is unusual. I am impressed by his respect for our environment and he has my vote on Nov. 4.
