Letter to the Editor: Parisot a 'Doer,' Not a Career Politico

By Tyler S. Posey

If we have to have yet another election so soon after the last one, it is reassuring to know that one of the candidates, Craig Parisot (R), is just the kind of leader we need at this time. He is part of a New Generation at just the right age (41), with the right talent and real world experience (Air Force veteran, successful businessman, community leader, new father) to move us forward. He cares about the issues the majority of us care about most, particularly fixing Route 7 and growing our economy to help all Virginians. Best of all, he has the know-how to make a positive difference on those problems.

I met Mr. Parisot for the first time recently and came away very impressed. His energy made me more optimistic about the future--everyone’s. He is a doer from the private sector, not a career politico. His appeal should transcend party, though clearly he would continue the recent electoral trend favoring more conservative candidates who will restore our confidence in the direction of our society.

Once more into the breach for voters who live in the 34th House of Delegates district. But it will be worth our effort if we take advantage of the opportunity we have at this pivotal moment in Northern Virginia history to choose a leader for the future, Craig Parisot.
