NDPAC Endorses Jody Wagner for Lt. Governor

The New Dominion PAC, which calls itself “the premier political voice for the Arab American community in Virginia,” endorsed Jody Wagner for Lieutenant Governor. New Dominion joins other progressive organizations supporting Wagner, including EMILY’s List, the Arlington Firefighters, the Arlington Police, and the Fairfax Coalition of Police.

“I am so impressed with Jody’s ability to reach out to people to form consensus. With accomplishments that include working with Mark Warner to fix the budget deficit, preserving the state’s critical AAA bond rating, and bringing Democrats and Republicans together in the legislature to pass the landmark 2008 higher education bond package, one thing has become clear: Jody won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. We need more leaders with her experience in Richmond” said Saba Shami, New Dominion’s President.

Said Wagner: “I’m thrilled to have the support of the New Dominion PAC. I look forward to working with them in the coming weeks and months to continue to build a grassroots movement across Virginia. With their help, we will continue to move Virginia forward.”

New Dominion PAC’s support is another sign of Wagner’s statewide strength and growing momentum. Earlier this week, Wagner announced the endorsement of Congressman Bobby Scott. Wagner has now been endorsed by three of Virginia’s six Democrats in Congress, forty-nine of the sixty-six Democratic legislators, fourteen Virginia mayors, as well as hundreds of local elected officials and thousands of grassroots activists and volunteers.
