George Allen for U.S. Senate: "Virginia Voices" TV campaign


“I hear from many Virginians who are frustrated with what’s going on in Washington. I want to be there, fighting for the people, for the taxpayers, for the families, for the small business owners to make sure we have the right economic, tax, regulatory and energy policies to make sure America truly is that land of opportunity for all.”
 – George Allen

George Allen for U.S. Senate unveiled its "Virginia Voices " campaign this past week. The effort will continue to build on George and Susan Allen's events throughout Virginia where they are meeting with families and small businesses as they share their concerns and ideas for fixing Washington. 

"Virginia Voices" launched a multi-tiered campaign including a new VirginiaVoices.com website, along with Facebook and Twitter accounts. The campaign is also kicking off a targeted summer TV campaign - releasing its first two ads which will run throughout the Commonwealth as well as go on the website. 

The first two ads, "Dorothy" and "Betsy," are testimonials from people who know George Allen personally or have worked for him. They share their stories of him as they know him - as a father, husband and leader for Virginia. 

Ms. Dorothy Jaeckle is the Vice Chair of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, former parent appointee to the Advisory Board for Teacher Education and Licensure, a wife and mother of four. "As a mom with four children who graduated from Virginia public schools, I want to know that our leaders are committed to the classrooms in our community," said Dorothy Jaeckle. "George Allen as Governor showed that he cares about the life story of every child, establishing high standards for all students in order to empower them to learn. Thanks to George Allen making education a priority, my children have benefited from his vision that what gets measured, gets better." 

Ms. Betsy Beamer is the former Secretary of the Commonwealth under Governor George Allen, a wife and mother of two daughters. She remains a close friend and confidant, serving as a senior advisor on his Senate campaign. "I've known George and Susan for more than 20 years, watching their children grow and proudly serving in his administration," said Betsy Beamer. "The George Allen I know is the real deal - with a genuine love and commitment for his family and Virginia. I know George is running for Senate to preserve the opportunity of the American Dream for future generations, and there's no one better to stand up in Washington for our children and their future." 

To view the spots, log on to VirginiaVoices.com. The two will be part of the overall campaign that will run on targeted statewide TV stations and cable networks throughout the summer.
