On November 2, 2010 my friend, Morgan Griffith, was elected to be one of almost 100 new colleagues who will be joining me in January in the United States House of Representatives. As a result, Salem and Roanoke County will be losing an extremely valuable leader in the Virginia House of Delegates. On January 11, 2011 we must elect a new Delegate to fill this vacancy. Greg Habeeb is the only candidate running for this seat who will be able to be the leader this community needs in the House of Delegates, as well as uphold the high standards that Congressman-elect Morgan Griffith has set for this seat.
Greg Habeeb has the business and legal experience to bring new jobs to the Roanoke Valley. Greg’s outstanding work in his law partnership and in the business community has earned him recognition as one of the top 20 business leaders under 40 by the Blue Ridge Business Journal and as a Legal Elite attorney by Virginia Business magazine.
In addition, Greg has shown his leadership capacity and his willingness to serve our community as a member of the Board of Directors of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Southwest Virginia, as a volunteer attorney for military families through the Military Family Support Center, as a Sunday school teacher at the Church of the Holy Spirit, and as a local Young Life Leader.
And when it comes to the crucial decisions that he will have to make as a Delegate, Greg gets it. He will oppose any effort to increase taxes, putting job growth first. He will fight wasteful spending and work to make our state government more efficient. I know he shares Governor Bob McDonnell’s commitment to accomplish those goals.
Most importantly, Greg knows that an open and transparent limited government is the best kind of government. Greg understands that the government answers to the people; and he will be a truly great representative of the people as Morgan Griffith has been for the Roanoke Valley during his years of service in the House of Delegates.
I hope you will join me in supporting Greg Habeeb on January 11.

Right, but does Congressman Goodlatte get it? You had weak stick opponents. Don’t think for a minute I’m happy with your congressional accomplishments.
