Dissatisfaction with Congress and incumbents remains strong nationally. In the 5th House District, multiple political campaign sound levels are strongly rising, too, as we approach a Republican primary on June 8.

Voters are privileged to be able to choose from a large field of candidates, and my choice will be state Sen. Robert Hurt.

As a state legislator, Hurt's track record is transparent, easily reviewed online, facts not available from the other candidates. For example, his fight for Senate Bill 55 resulted in improved voting rights for military and overseas personnel.

Hurt's record supports his commitment to limited government, tax cuts for Virginia small businesses and families and cutting wasteful government spending. He's pro-jobs, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment. He would continue his fight for these commitments in D.C.

Hurt understands our neighborhoods and jobs issues. As a father of three young children, he understands what unlimited government regulation and congressional spending will mean to our future.

It's important to me that I have the freedom to choose who represents me. To protect my freedom of choice, I will choose Hurt on June 8. The election of any other candidate will assure a win for Rep. Tom Perriello in November.
