Danny Marshall has been a very good and effective Delegate for the 14th District and we believe that he deserves re-election.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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<\/a>). Anderson tried a negative campaign direct-mail piece that really offended our sensibilities<\/a>. 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. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Danny Marshall has been a very good and effective Delegate for the 14th District and we believe that he deserves re-election.<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[60,22,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-endorsements","category-opinioncentral","category-politicscentral","odd"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pwqFk-1tV","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5637,"url":"https:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2009\/10\/18\/14th-district-house-race-update-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":5699,"position":0},"title":"14th District House Race \u2013 Update #2","author":"SouthsideCentral","date":"October 18, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Last Update: 14th District House Race \u2013 Update #1 It's a strange political season when a city's Sheriff's and Commonwealth Attorney's election get more attention than the House of Delegates' one does.
