NVTC’s TechPAC, the political action committee of the Northern Virginia technology community, announced its endorsement of 35 candidates running for General Assembly seats in Northern Virginia.
The announcement follows a six-month process where the 23-member TechPAC Board of Trustees reviewed each candidate’s campaign platforms and proposals, voting records and positions on issues of importance to Northern Virginia’s technology community. Three of the endorsements are for open seat races where TechPAC Trustees also conducted in-person interview sessions with each candidate and their opponent.
"Over the past six months, the NVTC TechPAC Board of Trustees devoted substantial time and effort toward evaluating candidates seeking to represent Northern Virginia's technology business community as members of Northern Virginia's General Assembly Delegation," said NVTC TechPAC Chairman Dendy Young, chairman and CEO of McLean Capital LLC. "While we did not engage in every race, we have endorsed these 35 candidates, all of whom we believe will support issues of importance to our technology community and champion policies and investments to promote a stronger Commonwealth."
