Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer going big in Virginia governor's race - POLITICO.com Print View

“It’s no surprise Terry McAuliffe is depending on yet another rich, national Democrat — instead of grassroots support from Virginians — in his campaign for governor,” Cuccinelli press secretary Anna Nix said. “Radical environmentalist Tom Steyer will be a strong addition to McAuliffe’s War on Coal, which will raise electricity prices on every Virginian and destroy the economy of Southwest Virginia. Unlike Ken Cuccinelli who has a long history of defending the coal industry and putting the needs of Virginians first, Terry McAuliffe once again shows that his loyalties lie with advancing the agendas of his campaign donors instead of doing what’s best for the Commonwealth.”
