It’s a leader’s job to lead. I decided to run for supervisor primarily because my hometown of Woodbridge lacked leadership and direction. A supervisor’s job is not in a bubble, in order to move Woodbridge forward with real results our supervisor must be able to think outside the box and work with all our representatives in all parties local, state and federal.
Being a local small business owner for over 20 years, I’ve interviewed hundreds of people. The most successful hires have been people who brought passion, a track record of struggle and success and dedicated hard work. Next Tuesday, June 9, Woodbridge (waterside of Route 1) has an opportunity to hire a new delegate to represent our best interests in Richmond. We have only one great choice for Woodbridge and that is Tim Ciampaglio.
I won my race in April by nearly two to one because I knocked on your door; I listened to your concerns and began to lay the groundwork to bring Woodbridge together. Tim has done the same thing. Before I met him, I saw his information left behind at people’s homes I was knocking. When I would go to local businesses, his signs were already there. I could tell Tim deeply cares about the opinions and concerns of my people here in Woodbridge. And that is the type of representation we can work with, deserve and need in Richmond. For too long Woodbridge has been forgotten and neglected, there is no other reason to explain why we’re in the shape we are other than that.
I have committed myself to rolling up my sleeves, doing the hard work beautify and reinvigorate the pride we have in Woodbridge; I can trust Tim Ciampaglio to stand by my side. It’s an uphill battle as his opponent previously held the seat then lost it by his own admission because he ignored Woodbridge.
With any election it’s difficult to know who to trust, so much information is put out. I’d say trust the guy who cared enough to knock on your door, who listened, who you’ve talked to, the one who is accessible; you’ve looked in his eye and heard his vision for our hometown. The man in this race is Tim Ciampaglio. I encourage you to visit his website https://timciampaglio.nationbuilder.com/ to learn more.
