Danny Marshall has been a very good and effective Delegate for the 14th District and we believe that he deserves re-election.
Danny Marshall is running for his fifth term in Virginia’s House of Delegates and barely survived one of Southside’s all-time classic elections against Adam Tomer in 2007. That campaign got infused with over $1,000,000 and got out of hand quickly but this year’s campaign has been quite uneventful compared to 2007’s.
Former Danville mayor Seward Anderson is the Democratic candidate in this cycle and he’s ran a non-eventful campaign with most of his talking points coming in one-man press conferences (and one of them becoming painfully funny). Anderson tried a negative campaign direct-mail piece that really offended our sensibilities. With missteps like these, Anderson’s campaign has never really gotten off the ground. Marshall has played off of his successful experience as a Delegate in this campaign and that strategy has been effective enough to take the spotlight off of his challenger.
Marshall is a successful businessman who knows his way around economic development. He is also a member of the Tobacco Commission which gives Southside VA another voice in how that funding is distributed. His close working relationship with Don Merricks & Robert Hurt gives the region a larger and more unified voice in the Virginia legislature. We see no reason to consider anyone other than Danny Marshall for the 14th District seat.
SouthsideCentral believes that Danny Marshall has represented the 14th District well in his House of Delegates career and we are proud to endorse him in his bid for re-election. We urge our 14th District readers to vote for Danny Marshall in the November 3rd election.
