LTE: LaRock Thanks Voters Of 33rd District, Vows To Serve All
The Republican candidate who ousted Joe May in primary will head to Richmond and the General Assembly next year.

Dear residents of the 33rd District,
I'm writing this letter to express my sincere thanks to the good people of the 33rd District for making me your Delegate-elect. This is a great honor, and a humbling one; I look forward to following the example of the other leaders who have served in this position with dedication and distinction.
To all of the folks that turned out and voted for me on Election Day, worked at the polls, organized behind the scenes, endorsed me, wrote letters on my behalf, and otherwise gave of your effort, time, and treasure, I am very grateful. Many of you gave very much, and many could only help in small ways, but all of you played an essential part in our campaign. Congratulations on a job well done!
I would also like to take a moment to thank a good friend of mine, Ben Belrose, who passed away shortly before the election. Ben wasn't just a reliable and faithful hand on the campaign trail; he was an outstanding neighbor, citizen, and friend. Our prayers are with his family.
To everyone who worked just as hard to elect my opponent in the race; I respect your effort, and your opinions. I know we all want to see Virginia and our district prosper, and I am committed to serving you with the same dedication that I give every constituent.
My job as Delegate gives me the opportunity to serve all the people in the district regardless of whether we agree on everything or not. I am excited about that opportunity.
I met with thousands of you over the last few months, and appreciate your advice and concerns. Please contact me if there is any issue that I can assist you with. My number is 540-751-8043.
Sincerely,
Dave LaRock
