Six mayor endorsed former finance secretary Jody Wagner today in her race for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor.

Bill Euille of Alexandria, James Holley of Portmouth, Linda Johnson of Suffolk, Mimi Elrod of Lexington, Faye Prichard of Ashland and Annie Mickens of Petersburg said they support Wagner because of her history working for former governor Mark R. Warner and Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and focus on economic development.

"As mayors, we're on the front line every day dealing with this national economic crisis," Euille said. "We need leaders in state government who can help turn this economy around."
