George,

As a nearly 23 year resident of both Charlottesville and Albemarle County, I am watching this race with both trepidation and optimism. I think we have a real opportunity to infuse the 25th with strong and energetic leadership should Deeds win the AG seat. I have known Michael Signer for some time, and find his enthusiasm and concern for our area to be quite genuine and refreshing. I hope that residents will pay attention to his record of achievement, both political and non, and seriously give consideration to his interest.
