Endorsements

Delegate Watkins Abbitt – Albemarle (part) Appomattox, Buckingham, Fluvanna (part) Nelson, and Prince Edward (part)

I'm proud to endorse Robert Hurt to be the next Congressman for Virginia's Fifth District. Robert Hurt has stood for conservative principles throughout his entire career in the legislature. Robert Hurt is the right man to restore our conservative principles in Washington.



Delegate James Edmunds – Halifax, Charlotte, Nottoway (part) and Prince Edward (part)

I'm endorsing Robert Hurt because he exemplifies the conservative Republican principles and values that we need to restore our country's economy in these tough times. This past session I worked with Robert in the General Assembly and he was instrumental in passing bills that will help create jobs for the people of Southside Virginia. That's the kind of leadership we so desperately need in Washington right now. I hope you'll join me and vote for Robert Hurt on June 8th.

Delegate Danny Marshall – Danville, Pittsylvania, (part) Henry(part)

I am proud to support a strong Conservative leader like Senator Robert Hurt to be our next Congressman. I've served with Senator Hurt for 8 years in The General Assembly and I can tell you firsthand that he has fought against increasing the size of government and has worked to reduce wasteful spending. He understands the needs of Virginians in the 5th congressional district and that's why he was elected in 2001 and since then has been reelected 3 times. Robert will take those same values to Washington, D.C., and I look forward to helping him throughout the campaign.

Delegate Don Merricks – Pittsylvania (part), Henry (part), Martinsville (part)

Today I endorse Senator Hurt for the Republican nomination for the 5th District congressional seat. I have known Robert for many years, as my delegate representing the 16th House district in the General Assembly and now as my Senator in the 19th Senatorial District.

As a member of the General Assembly, I have seen first-hand Robert's command of issues and his skill in getting legislation passed. Robert will work tirelessly to maintain the conservative values and principles that the citizens of the 5th district expect from their elected officials. Robert's legislative experience and electability will prove to be a winning combination to defeat Congressman Perriello.

State Senator Frank Ruff – Amherst (part), Appomattox, Brunswick (part), Buckingham(part), Charlotte, Cumberland (part) Fluvanna, Halifax, Lunenburg (part), Mecklenburg and Prince Edward

I'm endorsing Robert Hurt because he represents our Southern Virginia values and the conservative values we hold so dear. As a State Senator, Robert has stood with the small businesses of our area and helped create jobs and grow our economy. I'm proud to support Robert Hurt to be the next Congressman from Virginia's 5th District.

Delegate Tommy Wright – Amelia, Brunswick (part), Lunenburg (part), Mecklenburg, and Nottaway (part)

I served with Robert Hurt for six years in the House of Delegates. I can tell you first hand that Robert Hurt represents the type of conservative principles and leadership we do desperately need in Washington. As our next Congressman he will fight to cut taxes, reduce wasteful government spending and bring jobs back to Virginia so we can get our economy moving again.
