Mr. Minchew has been a longstanding voice of reason in Loudoun County political circles, respected by both Republicans and Democrats. Plus, he has wonderful array of community service works outside of politics and the law. These life experiences can only help him provide balanced and reasoned counsel to the Governor.
Governor McDonnell has chosen wisely.
