TechPAC Endorses Ken Cuccinelli for Governor of Virginia

HERNDON, Va., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The TechPAC Board of Trustees voted to endorse Ken Cuccinelli by a majority of its voting trustees present following in-depth, in-person interviews with each major party candidate. During the interview process, technology business leaders discussed the candidates' campaign platforms, proposals and positions relating to specific issues in the technology business agenda of the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC).

"The TechPAC Board of Trustees concluded that Ken Cuccinelli's experience in Virginia government, command of the issues, and knowledge of key technology priorities will serve him well as Governor in working to ensure the Commonwealth remains a competitive and innovative global technology center," said Dendy Young, TechPAC Chairman and CEO of McLean Capital, LLC.

TechPAC members are highly sensitive to the divisive nature of this particular gubernatorial campaign, and the attending underlying social issues. "Cuccinelli assured TechPAC Trustees during the interview process that his administration will focus on jobs and the economy, and not on a divisive social agenda, which TechPAC believes would seriously hurt the appeal of Virginia as a place to locate and grow businesses. Cuccinelli also committed to preserving and efficiently implementing the transportation funding legislation passed by the General Assembly earlier this year," Young stated.
