Delegate Ward Armstrong has received the endorsement of the Virginia Small Business Partnership (VSBP) in the race for the 9th District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.

"I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Virginia Small Business Partnership," said Delegate Armstrong. "I have been a small business owner for 30 years; I know what its like to meet a payroll. In these economically depressed times, we need to ensure that our small businesses have the resources they need to be successful and create jobs in our communities."

"We recognize and appreciate the leadership Ward has shown on many small business issues and furthermore, we know he will continue to support and champion legislation that improves the environment for small businesses in the Comonwealth," stated Paul Miller, Chairman of VSBP.

The Virginia Small Business Partnership serves as an advocacy body for the Virginia small business community and also as a bridge between policymakers and small businesses. By hosting policy briefings and bringing Virginia leaders together with small businesses, the Virginia Small Business Partnership strives to improve the climate in Virginia for small businesses.
