Just after Ken Cuccinelli accepted the post of attorney general, Bill Bolling gave his own acceptance speech as he was elected lieutenant governor of Virginia.

“I told you if you went out and brought those voters to the polls today we were gonna have a good night, and we’re having a good night,” Bolling said.

Bolling thanked his supporters and spoke to the importance of running a campaign based on issues and ideas. He laid out promises to improve the economic situation in Virginia, to increase available jobs, to resolve both education and transportation issues and to “do everything we can to improve access and affordability in va without turning it over to the federal government.”

“This is the dawn of a new day in Virginia,” Bolling said.
