By Brian Kirwin | Monday, November 24th, 2008 | PoliticsTom Keeley, former CO of NAS Oceana, was endorsed this week by City Councilmember (and if rumors are true, a future candidate for the House of Delegates) Bob Dyer and former candidate for Virginia Beach Mayor Scott Taylor, who ran 4th out of 4 in the Mayoral campaign this year.
Together, they will launch Veterans for Keeley at a press conference 1 PM Tuesday at the Veteran’s memorial on 1000 19th st.
Keeley, Sheriff Paul Lanteigne, and Barry Knight of the Planning Commission are vying for the House of Delegates seat vacated by Terrie Suit.

I support Tom Keeley in this race. I live in the 81st District.
Tom Keeley was my commanding officer at Oceana/Dam Neck Annex, and to this day I consider him my friend. He is a sincere and caring person that carefully analyzes the situation. As the CO of Oceana, he made some hard calls and forced the the City of Virginia Beach to reconsider the relationship it has with the Navy. The reevalution the city did has fostered renewed cooperation and has ensured Oceana’s viability for years to come. Now the region is scrambling to retain (1) carrier but consider the economic loss the city would have had to bear had it lost Oceana!
I could not think of a better person for this elected seat.
