I am a member of the United Auto Workers Local 2807. I am supporting Creigh Deeds for governor because he cares about the issues important to working people in Southwest Virginia. He has strong support from the labor movement. He has received endorsements from UAW Region 8, the Virginia AFL-CIO and the United Mine Workers of America. He cares about the issue of health care and believes it should be more accessible and affordable. The unions are very passionate about this issue, on the state and national level.
Creigh Deeds cares about education. He wants teacher pay raised to the national average and more investment in early childhood education. He is an avid hunter. He has received an A rating from the National Rifle Association for fighting for gun rights.
I truly believe Creigh Deeds has a real plan to make things better for the people of Southwest Virginia. I encourage the voters of Southwest Virginia to vote for a proven leader, Creigh Deeds, state senator from Bath County, on Nov. 3, as our next governor of Virginia.
