Dear Editor,
Ginger Mumpower is clearly the better candidate for the House of Delegates. Mumpower, a moderate Democrat in the tradition of Senator Mark Warner, is a long-time small business owner who has proven she knows how to create jobs. Mumpower has owned Ginger’s Jewelers for over 25 years. She has directly employed many Roanoke-area citizens, and indirectly employed many by purchasing jewelry components from local suppliers. Mumpower’s opponent is a liability lawsuit lawyer who seems to think businesses exist to be sued. Habeeb’s law firm’s website even brags about how much he has sued businesses. I ask you, how good could Habeeb be for our business community with a record like that? Mumpower has support of business leaders from both parties. I can not think of a better person who would represent us. Earning bi-partisan support and standing firm on issues while campaigning are strong indicators of how Mumpower will lead. Her opponent has flip-flopped and made many self-contradicting statements in attempt to sway voters; this front is easily seen by all. Our region deserves a Delegate who will represent all of us, support a job-creating business environment, and protect our schools. Vote for Ginger Mumpower.
