Women Leaders Across Virginia Will Promote Ed’s Economic Growth Message to Voters in Final Six Weeks of the Campaign
LORTON –The Women for Ed Coalition today launched a volunteer effort with more than 1,000 women leaders from across Virginia.
Speaking about the effort, Ed Gillespie said, “More Virginians are realizing every day that Mark Warner is not the Senator he said he would be. I have two daughters in college and the percent of women participating in the labor force was the lowest this June that it’s been in their lifetimes. There are 65,000 more Virginia women living in poverty today than when Mark Warner took office. Women are losing their health coverage and doctors because of his support of Obamacare. We need a pro-growth agenda that would raise take home pay, reduce costs for food and gas and let more people find good-paying jobs. With the right policies, we can do better, and we must.”
Senator Debra Fischer (R-Nebraska) said, “Ed Gillespie has the right ideas to get our economy moving and would make a great partner in building bi-partisan support for them in the Senate. Women are struggling in this economy and with Ed’s ideas and experience we can turn things around.”
Kate Obenshain said, “Mark Warner has given a free pass to President Obama’s agenda in the Senate. We’re seeing the effects all around us, with recent news that 250,000 more Virginians will lose their existing health care coverage this Fall because of Warner’s vote for Obamacare. Ed Gillespie has a plan that will move our country in a better direction.”
