ICYMI: President Clinton, Leaders Boost Douglass's Final Push
In case you missed it, President Clinton is just the latest high profile leader to lend their support to General John Douglass for Congress in Virginia’s Fifth District race. Others who have helped the campaign exceed their fundraising goals for the election include Senator Mark Warner, Senator Jim Webb, General Wesley Clark and Rear Admiral Joe Sestak. Here are the highlights from their endorsements: President Clinton says, “I can tell you from working with General Douglass that our nation needs him in Congress. As my Assistant Secretary of the Navy, he helped us keep the Navy up to date and strong, turn deficits into surpluses and set up new job training programs.” Senator Mark Warner says, “My friend General John Douglass has a real chance to turn the 5th district from red to blue.” Senator Jim Webb says, “John's proven leadership will help bring Republicans and Democrats together to break the partisan gridlock that has blocked progress on so many important issues.” General Wes Clark says, “I'm so proud to endorse my friend General John Douglass. We need more veterans in Congress, especially a flag officer like John who has worked with leaders in both parties for the good of our nation.” Rear Admiral Joe Sestak says, “When Wes Clark, Senator Jim Webb, Secretary Bill Perry and Secretary Richard Danzig all are firmly behind John Douglass. You know he is what we need.” Senator Creigh Deeds says, “It's a good thing we have my friend John -- if anyone can overcome the odds, it's him. His drive to do right by other people has all of us truly inspired to do right by him in these final days.” Terry McAuliffe says, “I can tell you that John's campaign has everyone talking because they are closing so strong. When I campaigned with him, I can see why -- he has voters fired up and he's even bringing voters on the other side into the fold.” ### For more information or to request an interview, email press@johndouglassforcongress.com, call434-906-2022 and follow us on Twitter @JWDouglass Gen.
