Dear Editor: If you like the fun of bowling, you’re really going to love what can happen if you vote for Hung Cao to represent Loudoun County in the U.S. Congress. In bowling, you know you can roll a strike by knocking down all 10 pins, but first you must knock down the headpin to…
Dear Editor: I am a 1969 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Like Hung Cao, I made a career of the Navy, although I never served in combat. CAPT (Ret.) Hung Cao has an impressive resume and is owed the gratitude of the nation for the service, sacrifice, and risk he undertook to serve…
Dear Editor: Just two years ago, we were at 2 percent inflation with stable prices. Inflation and prices are now way up and real wages are down. Two years ago, we were the world’s largest exporter of oil and gas. Even more than OPEC. Why do we now have to ask OPEC and other countries…

Dear Editor: When you drive around the Town of Purcellville including Hatcher Avenue and around certain developer-owned properties, these are the signs you see. The signs on Hatcher Avenue of this “team” are in front of a home that is not occupied. This home is owned by the representatives/developers of Vineyard Square on 21st Street, and…
Dear Editor: The Biden-Wexton energy policy is destroying our country. Sitting on top of the world’s greatest energy reserves, Democrat policy has forced our nation to beg Saudi Arabia and Venezuela to produce more oil.
