Woodbridge, Virginia (September 14, 2007) - Virginia AgPAC, a political action committee of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, announced this week its endorsement of Delegate Jeff Frederick in his re-election campaign for the House of Delegates in the 52nd District.

“While we might not talk about it much, agriculture is integral to the long-term stability and security of the Commonwealth. We’ve got to ensure the long-term success of the agriculture industry in Virginia, and I’m proud to have the support of this group of hard working small business people for my re-election”, said Frederick.

Frederick is among 82 House of Delegate candidates statewide that Virginia AgPAC has endorsed. Endorsements were made based on the recommendations of local committees of farmers.

“Each of these candidates has demonstrated a clear understanding of the needs of agriculture and forestry or has a favorable voting record in support of agriculture and Farm Bureau issues,” said Wayne F. Pryor, chairman of Virginia AgPAC.
