LTE: ‘I have already voted for Hanger’

By Lynn R. Mitchell

Absentee voting is now available at registrar offices throughout the 24th State Senate District. This Emmett Hanger supporter has already voted using absentee. In-person absentee voting is also taking place at registrar offices:

To the Editor:

I admire the foresightedness that incumbent State Sen. Emmett W. Hanger Jr. exhibited when he chose a primary rather than a convention to pursue his Republican party’s nomination for a sixth term in the Virginia senate. I feel like he has simply made it much less difficult for the elderly like me to vote for someone who is best at publicly servicing the needs of everyone.

I am fully aware of Sen. Hanger’s attempts to secure Medicaid for poor working mothers in need of it and America’s most modernized mental health care coverage for us all. I have already voted for Sen. Hanger in his Republican primary by completing and mailing in my absentee ballott.
