Creigh Deeds – Governor
As governors, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner built an impressive legacy in Virginia, and now Creigh Deeds is ready to carry the torch for the next four years. As a state legislator, Creigh has been a champion for our state’s natural environment, and he’s been a leader in the effort to keep our children safe.
Jody Wagner - Lt. Governor
After her appointment as treasurer of the Commonwealth in 2002, Jody Wagner immediately became a critical part of then Governor Warner’s leadership team. Her ability to negotiate across party lines and her strong fiscal discipline helped Virginia overcome record deficits and partisan gridlock.
Steve Shannon – Attorney General
As a state delegate, Steve was instrumental in the fight to solve Virginia’s budget crisis in 2004. It was his work then that directly contributed to Virginia being named the best-managed state in America and the best state for business.
Seward Anderson – Danville
After a lifetime of working for and owning his family’s furniture store, Seward is uniquely qualified to help bring jobs to rural areas and spur economic growth across the Commonwealth. He supports the Governor’s Opportunity Fund to attract new industry, like the IKEA plant in Danville.
Your contributions today can help send this longtime community leader to Richmond.
Joe Bouchard – Virginia Beach
The jobs of the future will be environmentally sustainable “green jobs,” and no one understands that better than Delegate Joe Bouchard.
Serving on the Science and Technology Committee and the Governor’s Commission on Climate Change, Joe says that “renewable energy, energy efficiency and conservation initiatives not only help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they contribute to economic growth and help reduce our dependence on imported oil.”
That’s the kind of forward thinking we need to reward. Make a contribution today to keep Joe’s leadership in the House of Delegates.
Luke Torian – Dumfries
Then Governor Warner appointed Luke Torian to the Virginia Board of Counseling because he recognized that Luke’s tremendous leadership qualities could help make our state the best it can be.
Luke knows a thing or two about accountability. As a church pastor and a mentor to troubled youth, he teaches those he helps to be accountable for their actions. Now, he wants to bring that same kind of discipline to Richmond.
Luke pledges to keep taxes low and to demand accountability for every dollar the state spends. Fiscal responsibility will be essential to Virginia’s recovery from the economic crisis.

Margi Vanderhye – McLean
Nothing prepares our state’s citizens to compete in the global marketplace like a world-class public education. We need to keep Margi Vanderhye in Richmond to make sure each and every Virginian has every opportunity to succeed.
Margi has been a leader on education issues, and she pledges to recruit, train and retain the best emerging teachers in the country for our students. She’s also committed to revising our Standards of Learning to put greater emphasis on critical thinking over rote memorization.
All it takes is a generous contribution from you to help Margi hold on to her seat in the House of Delegates.
