The Loudoun Times reports:
If state Del. Tom Rust (R-86th) wins reelection next month, he’ll succeed his long-time colleague and friend, Del. Joe May (R-33rd), as chairman of the House of Delegates Committee on Transportation, Republican House Speaker Bill Howell announced this morning.
From Allen Muchnick:
“Rust is a reasonable moderate who has responded favorably to input from his bicycling constituents. His Herndon district is along the W&OD Trail. Rust has been a swing vote when our bicycling bills have reached the full committee and the House floor.”
Do you live in Del. Rust’s 86th district? Be prepared to write to him about bicycling bills during this winter’s legislative session, Jan. 8 – Mar. 8, 2014.
