Alexandria – The political action arm of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, whose 1,100 member companies represent more than 200,000 employees, announced Friday that it endorses Del. David Englin (D-45) for re-election to the House of Delegates in this year’s election Nov. 3.
“Northern Virginia Technology Council’s TechPAC is pleased to endorse David’s re-election to the Virginia House of Delegates. He has been an advocate for issues of importance to Northern Virginia’s technology community, including long-term transportation funding initiatives,” said Dendy Young, NVTC TechPAC chairman. “We look forward to working with him to build a better technology future.”
“These high-tech businesses are the backbone of Northern Virginia’s economy, and their success has helped our region weather the recession better than most,” said Englin. “I especially appreciate NVTC’s advocacy for responsible, long-term transportation solutions so we can protect our economy and our quality of life without putting public education, public safety, heath care, and the environment at risk. I’m honored to have such strong support from our area’s business community, and I look forward to continuing our work together to make life better for individuals and families throughout the Commonwealth.”
