George F. Allen (R)
Residence: Southside Richmond (Chesterfield County). Education: BA, University of Virginia, 1974; JD, University of Virginia, 1977. Occupation: Partner, McGuire Woods LLP; lead attorney, Business Expansion and Relocation Team. Elected offices/civic activities: governor of Virginia, 1994-98; member, U.S. House of Representatives, 1991-93; member, Virginia House of Delegates, 1983-91. Family: Wife, Susan; two daughters and a son. Why should the voters elect you? "I believe that to predict what someone will do in the future, you must see what he has done in the past. As governor, I abolished parole and reformed welfare. We increased education spending by a record $2billion and introduced high academic standards. Today, Virginia is a better and safer place than ever to live, work and raise a family. As a U.S. senator, I will support a Social Security lockbox. My priorities will be in education, national defense and law enforcement. Finally, I believe that hardworking people who created this prosperity deserve tax relief." Tell us what you think is the most urgent problem facing Virginians: "The current administration and its cheerleaders in Congress have destroyed the faith and trust people had in their government. That trust must be restored." Web site: www.allen2000.com E-mail address: info@allen2000.com
Charles S. Robb (D) *incumbent
Residence: McLean. Education: BBA, University of Wisconsin, 1961; JD, University of Virginia Law School, 1973. Occupation: U.S. senator, Virginia. Elected offices/civic activities: U.S. senator, 1989-present; governor of Virginia, 1982-86; lieutenant governor of Virginia, 1978-82; U.S. Marine. Family: Wife, Lynda Johnson Robb; three adult daughters. Why should the voters elect you? "I am a moderate who has always tried to put principle above politics, build consensus, make tough fiscal choices and reach across party lines to do what's right for Virginia and our nation. I have always fought for things that make a real difference in people's lives, like improving our schools, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, investing in transportation, fighting for common-sense gun safety laws, preserving Virginia's environment, fighting discrimination and protecting a woman's right to choose. I want to invest in our future and make America stronger and freer." Tell us what you think is the most urgent problem facing Virginians: "We must provide the best schools we can by reducing class size, hiring highly qualified teachers, ensuring we have safe, modern classrooms and raising academic performance."
