On November 3, 2009, the voters of the 35th District hired me to represent you in the Virginia state government.

As a candidate, I went door to door throughout the District and met with thousands of voters personally.

I frequently said that while I cannot guarantee results, I can guarantee my performance. I promised that I will serve with only one goal in mind: Is what I am doing in the best interest of the people who have put your trust in me?

As your Delegate, I have tried my best to live up to everything I promised. I focused on addressing the big problems confronting our communities and worked with everyone to seek common sense solutions together. I set aside petty partisanship to get things done. As a result, I have passed more legislation than the typical first term legislator, and have earned the trust of my colleagues on a bipartisan basis.

Together, we have made progress, but we still have a lot to do. I hope I can earn your vote on November 8, 2011, so that I may continue to serve you.

Thank you,

Mark Keam
