Friday, August 31, 2007
Richmond - Earlier today, United States Senator John Warner announced that he would not seek re-election when his current term of office ends in 2008. In response to this announcement, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling issued the following statement:
"John Warner has represented the people of Virginia with distinction in the United States Senate for the past twenty nine years. I commend him for that service."
"While there have been times that I agreed with Senator Warner and times that I disagreed with him on policy issues, I always knew that Senator Warner would do what he thought was in the best interests of our country. That is the mark of a statesman, and John Warner is the epitome of what a public servant should be."
"As we look ahead to 2008, we will have some big shoes to fill and much work to do. I am committed to doing everything I can to make certain that we elect a conservative candidate to represent the people of Virginia in the United States Senate."
