CONGRESSMAN CONNOLLY ENDORSES MARK KEAM FOR DELEGATE IN 35TH DISTRICT
Today I am pleased to announce my enthusiastic support for and endorsement of Mark Keam as the next Delegate from the 35th District.
Mark is a highly-qualified candidate who has devoted his career to fighting for progressive change. He served under President Clinton at the Federal Communications Commission and the Small Business Administration, fought Bush Administration policies when he worked on Capitol Hill for the Senate Democratic Leadership and then joined the Government Relations office at Verizon, working with Democrats to extend high-speed internet access to underserved communities. In addition to his extensive legislative experience, he's been President of his homeowners association, serves on Governor Tim Kaine's Asian American Advisory Board, and played a key role both in my Congressional campaign and President Obama's successful effort in Fairfax County.
I believe that this race has attracted four worthy and capable candidates, but Mark Keam is a standout. He has the experience, energy and character to be an effective leader in the House of Delegates. He will fight for Fairfax and Vienna in Richmond, helping us get our fair share of transportation and education funding. I fully endorse his election, and I encourage voters in the 35th House of Delegates district to do the same.
