Dave Guill for District 60 House Open Seat

I just received a press release announcing Dave Guill's candidacy for the House of Delegates in the 60th district. Currently on the Board of Supervisors for Charlotte County, Guill's career path includes being a state trooper, a teacher, principal, and he currently holds the position of the Director of Transportation of Halifax Public Schools. Saith Guill on his nomination and his legislative priorities:
“I am proud and humbled to have been chosen as the nominee,” said Dave, “this campaign is about making sure that citizens of Southside Virginia get their ‘share of the pie’. As your delegate I will fight for education, small businesses and jobs, among other things. Richmond needs strong leaders that will stand up for Virginia’s families. That is why I was hurt when Richmond decided to block much needed unemployment funds. That decision was clearly a political move made by Republicans in the House of Delegates.”
[...]
“I believe that as a community we must provide the best possible education for our children from Pre-K to College. This means better funding of schools, help for college and vocational training programs. We also need to invest in affordable access to healthcare for all Virginians. Job creation is another priority of mine and I believe that bringing jobs to this area will start with education and healthcare. At the same time we must support employers that are already here and encourage new ones to come,” said Dave Guill.
The 60th district covers Charlotte and Halifax counties, and parts of Nottoway and Prince Edward counties. This is an open seat, vacated by a retiring Clarke Hogan.

with all the great candidates we could have had i fear we have made a mistake with Dave Guill . Ted Bennett would have made a great choice

I agree at least Ted would have had some political pull in Richmond if he had won.

A Democratic blog with negative comments about the Democratic candidate (obviously posted by Mr. Guill's opponent's supporters). Its sad when they resort to these tactics so early in the campaign.

I am going to vote for Mr Guill but Ted would have got alot better voter turnout and if Mr Guill loses i will buy you dinner one night and tell you i told you so

Most anyone could have run in the democrtic primary. All they needed were a few hundred signatures and proper paperwork. Ted Bennett said he was going to run but decided differently. No offense to Mr. Bennett I guess he just changed his mind. Guill was the only one that turned in his papers for the primary and automatically is the candidate. Guill is a good man and better candidate than the republican. He will win if we all get behind him.
