Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I am a lifelong Republican and my late husband, Carl, was chairman of the Gloucester County Republican Committee several years ago. I have served on the Republican committee in the past and have been a member of the Severn Republican Women for many years, serving as President and also as a district representative to the Virginia Federation of Republican Women.
