To the Editor:
Wouldn't it be great to be able to cast a ballot for a candidate who is a dedicated, selfless member of the community rather than just another career politician? That is one important reason why I support Larry Altenburg for Virginia delegate for the 45th district.
I have known Larry for several years and he has earned my respect as a parent, businessman, and public-spirited community activist. Larry supports the kind of constructive, common-sense policies that can make a positive impact in Richmond and right here in our town. He has served in important government posts at the national level, and in his local leadership positions, including two terms as president of the Del Ray Citizens Association, he has demonstrated a down to earth approach to problem solving.
Larry has a proven record of working collaboratively with members of Alexandria’s diverse communities. He is a natural leader who brings thoughtful people together to forge consensus, rather than reinforcing government gridlock.
In short, Larry Altenburg is someone who can get things done and make a positive difference, and I will be happy to vote for him June 9.
