Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We are fortunate in the 98th District to have so many good candidates seeking to represent us in the Virginia House of Delegates. However, Catesby Jones stands out as being the most qualified and prepared.

Catesby Jones is a native and long-time resident. His family has deep roots here, going back many generations. He understands the area and the people, much like Harvey Morgan did.

Most importantly, Catesby Jones is an experienced and successful businessman. In our present state and national economic situation, with staggering debt and unemployment, business experience is of the highest priority. Catesby Jones’s business, started here in Gloucester, now has national and international recognition.

It would be great to have a true businessman walk into the House of Delegates, now top heavy with lawyers and politicians.

We in the 98th District have the opportunity to send business experience and expertise to Richmond. Let’s not let it slip...
