Connection Newspapers endorses Del. David Englin for re-election

Connection Newspapers, which includes the Alexandria Gazette Packet, the Mount Vernon Gazette, and the Arlington Connection, today announced its editorial page endorsement of Del. David Englin for re-election on Nov. 6:

Englin for Delegate in the 45th

One-term incumbent Del. David Englin “is working hard to fill some of the void” left in the 45th District by the retirement of Marian Van Landingham, who represented the district for 24 years.

“Englin is energetic and devoted full time to the district. His priorities, views and vision match his district well, including a focus on affordable housing, the environment, education and health care. He has also been an advocate for his constituents, for example helping residents of Huntington hard hit by flooding in their interactions with FEMA. He continues to pursue innovative ideas to lower health care and prescription costs. Englin shows an excellent capacity for growth, and with time, might come close to filling Van Landingham’s shoes.”
