Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I am writing to voice my support for Sheila Crowley for the 98th District seat in the House of Delegates.

Sheila has an incredible background in advocating for people’s rights. Her years as a social worker, her accomplishments working to solve the low-income housing shortage on the national level, her leadership skills and her expertise in writing social policy all speak to a stellar career.

But what draws me even more to Sheila is her message that caring about the less fortunate is not out of fashion, but indeed is a positive force.

For an informed, intelligent, articulate and compassionate voice in our state legislature, please join me in voting for Sheila Crowley on Nov. 7.

Martha Hayes

Hallieford, Va. ...
