I think Mike is a great choice for Lt. Governor and am thrilled he is running. With his public policy prowess, long history in Virginia politics and as a Northern Virginia local, he is coming with a lot to bring to the debate.
Moreover, it seems as though the race just opened-up over the holidays with a few more candidates getting in, and I think Signer is going to be the one to watch.
