Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling was one of the featured keynote speakers during the Republican Party of Virginia Advance luncheon. In a speech that focused on the victories and the challenges ahead, Bolling gave an overall motivational talk about the direction of our party. Bolling discussed the improvements in the Commonwealth when it comes down to job creation and economic growth that has happened over the course of the past year. Citing Former Governor Tim Kaine’s lack of leadership as Governor, Bolling mentioned that the Republicans have turned around Richmond. Bolling also mentioned that we have turned a $6 million shortfall into a $400 billion surplus. Bolling also mentioned the success of government reform with the recent VDOT audit and that they found $1.5 billion for highway maintenance needs.
During the luncheon, Bolling applauded Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli for holding Washington accountable with the recent lawsuits against President Obama’s health care plan.
Bolling also mentioned the successes of the recent Congressional victories. Bolling also cautioned Republicans that Virginia is not a red state and that this election was a referendum on the Obama/Pelosi policies. Bolling said, “We need to stand strong for conservative principles. We need to take those conservative principles and values, and present them to businesses and families. We need to be focused on solving problems consistent with our conservative values. We have to reach out to the changing face of Virginia and grow our party.”
