"I want to thank all the people who supported Rob throughout this campaign.

Rob is a fine person, and a lot of people saw that. He and his supporters knocked on nearly 4,000 doors in Charlottesville since the time he was nominated.

As he said last night, he was very pleased with the way all the candidates ran a good, issue-oriented campaign. I think we'll all look forward now to getting down to work on the issues facing council."

(Bob Hodous, Chair, Charlottesville Republican Committee, May 8, 2002)
