Letter to the editor
On October 16, I attended the debate held at Lake Ridge Middle School between the candidates for Occoquan District Supervisor, Earnie Porta and Ruth Anderson.
I was struck by the difference in the candidates answers to the questions presented. Mr. Porta was clearly knowledgeable of the important issues facing the district and the county, and presented clear, well thought-out, common sense answers to questions on subjects including traffic congestion and taxes.
His extensive background in community service was evident, and speaks for itself. He is clearly able to step into the supervisor role on day one.
While I admire the accomplished careers of both candidates, only one of them has the relevant community experience, knowledge and skills to serve in this important position. Earnie Porta deserves our vote on November 3.
