STATEMENT OF EUGENE DELGAUDIO
Thank you to the members of the Loudoun County Republican Committee for voting to support me last night, Monday, August 26, 2013, by a vote of 68 "yes" to 34 "no."
To those who voted "yes" please know your show of support was heartwarming and greatly appreciated by myself and my family.
To those who voted "no," let me assure you living under the cloud of a special grand jury made a tremendous impression on me.
I promise to endeavor to reconcile with my colleagues through hard work on behalf of all Republican candidates and through constructive service on the Board of Supervisors.
