Signer statement on Wagner win

STATEMENT FROM MIKE SIGNER ON JODY WAGNER'S VICTORY

"I want to congratulate my opponent Jody Wagner for her victory today.  She was a formidable opponent and she ran a smart, tough campaign.   I know she’s going to take the fight to Bill Bolling this fall and carry forward the extraordinary legacy of Mark Warner and Tim Kaine as our next Lieutenant Governor.  I look forward to helping Jody in any way I can to defeat the Republican ticket in November.

I want to thank the many people who have supported me in this campaign: my family, my staff and advisors, the dozens of unions, elected officials, local party chairs, bloggers, donors, and community and grassroots leaders who endorsed, advised, and supported my campaign.

What we accomplished today was impressive by any measure.  In four months, despite being outspent almost three to one, we broke through with thousands of voters all over the state on the power of ideas.

Bill Bolling and the Republican leadership in Virginia have failed to deliver for hard-working Virginians and should be held to account this fall.  I look forward to working with Jody Wagner, Creigh Deeds, and Steve Shannon to deliver a Democratic victory in November."
