Forrest Miller, the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s House of Delegates from the 63rd District was warmly welcomed by supporters at a fund-raising event July 26 sponsored by the LOW Democratic Club.
The event raised more than $3,400 in donations to advance Miller’s campaign against an entrenched but ineffective opponent.
Miller’s message to the crowd gathered at the LOW Community Center, was centered around four principle themes: responsibility, infrastructure, social services and the economy.
The U.S. Army combat veteran from Spotsylvania County pledged ethical leadership, support of the Constitution and government accountability. He said his top priorities would be support for small businesses, agriculture policies and federal worker assistance programs.
He promised to use his position in the General Assembly to support investment in roads, technology and sustainable growth and to protect the interests of veterans, first responders, healthcare workers and public education.
Miller will be on the ballot in the Genreal Election on November 4, along with gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, lieutenant governor candidate Ghazala Hashmi and attorney general candidate Jay Jones.
