There’s no excuses. I’m just running out of time. Let’s get our endorsements on record for Tuesday’s election… and let’s do them fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

16th District House of Delegates<\/strong>: Challenger Dustin Evans is a good guy, but he needs more civic experience to be taken as a serious challenger here. Les Adams is doing great, represents his area well and has the potential to move up in leadership positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SouthsideCentral gives Les Adams our highest endorsement and we strongly urge his district’s voters to re-elect him on November 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Pittsylvania County School Board<\/strong>: This one will be quick & brutal. The incumbents know their stuff. The challengers are crap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SouthsideCentral gives Todd Sanders & Sammy Burton our highest endorsements and we strongly urge their district’s voters to re-elect them on November 5th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Pittsylvania County Commissioner of Revenue<\/strong>: You can’t go wrong with a person who’s worked in the office for over 30 years. Robin Goard is my choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SouthsideCentral gives Robin Goard our strong endorsement and we urge Pittsylvania County voters to vote for her on November 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors – Tunstall District: It took Tim Barber almost 8 minutes to go through a list of what he’s help accomplish in Pittsylvania County over the past 20 years. His two challengers have potential, but Tim Barber’s experience is my deciding factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SouthsideCentral gives Tim Barber our highest endorsement and we strongly urge his district’s voters to re-elect him on November 5th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Whew. Finished with less than 8 hours before the polls open. I can do better, but at least you have our major endorsements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
