Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We think that Robert "JJ" Orth would be an excellent supervisor for Gloucester’s Abingdon district. He has lived and worked in Gloucester for 38 years, has a vested interest in our county, and understands the issues we’re facing. Running as an independent shows that he would be willing to weigh both sides of a proposal before making a decision.

JJ Orth is skilled in managing large budgets, using technology, and assessing environmental issues. He will also promote small businesses and support our schools while being fiscally responsible.

Finally, if elected, he will listen to his constituents and do his best to represent them and their opinions, ideas and suggestions. So, please go to the polls on Nov. 8 and vote for Robert "JJ" Orth.

Bill and Carol Lawrence

Gloucester, Va.
