McAuliffe Endorsed by Governor Ed Rendell
Gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe was endorsed today by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell. Governor Rendell, who has created new jobs and championed higher wages for Pennsylvania's working families, cited McAuliffe's forward-looking Business Plan for Virginia as he announced his endorsement.
"Terry McAuliffe has the skills and the experience to be a great leader in Virginia," said Rendell. "Terry has an unparalleled ability to get things done and the executive record to prove it. Over the course of his career as an entrepreneur, Terry has created thousands of jobs, and over the course of his political life he has advocated for millions of working families. His Business Plan for Virginia lays out an excellent blue print to guide Virginia through these perilous economic times and open up new opportunities for Virginia families. He will be an asset to every Virginian in Richmond."
"I am honored to have earned Governor Rendell's endorsement," said McAuliffe. "As governor, I will put my executive experience to work for the people of Virginia. My Business Plan brings together the best ideas I have for getting this state back on track with the best ideas from across them Commonwealth. I look forward to turning those ideas into reality."
Governor Rendell's endorsement closely follows the endorsement of Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer this morning. McAuliffe's Business Plan for Virginia can be found at http://www.terrymcauliffe.com/businessplan.
