Paul Dellinger has this write-up of the announcement in the Roanoke Times.
I heard from people at the announcement that more than 75 people attended and were very enthusiastic about Ms. Frank. Ms. Frank said, “[o]ne of my main priorities as your representative in the House of Delegates will be to move towards workable solutions in key areas of interest in this District. It’s time to move away from polarization in the House and towards bipartisan resolutions.” She continued, “[o]ur children should not have to pay in the future for the majority’s mistakes and shortcomings today.”
I look forward to seeing more of Ms. Frank and especially seeing her represent the 7th District in the House of Delegates.
Peggy Frank and Montgomery County Sheriff, Tommy Whitt
