To the Editor:
The people of Virginia are about to hire the chief executive of a $16 billion industry — their state government. This executive will strongly affest our lives for the next four years.
Mary Sue Terry, the Democratic candidate, has practiced law as'the head of her own firm, served as a local prosecutor, been an officer in her family farm and farm-supply business, been chairman of an independent bank, served about eight years as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, where independent observers rated her service outstanding, and has served about 7-1/2 years as Attorney General of Virginia:
As Attorney General, Terry built and directed a staff of 130 lawyers. She served essentially as general counsel of the state government. She was the responsible attorney for almost every agency of the government, learning its operation arid its problems inside out.
Her fellow Attorneys General across the country chose her as their Chairman. After her first term, the people of Virginia re-elected her with 63 percent of the vote, giving her. more votes than any other candidate for statewide office has ever received.
George Allen, the Republican candidate, is an ambitious young man who talks a conservative line very convincingly. He has practiced law and served about nine years in the House of Delegates and one year in the U.S. Congress. Independent observers rated his performance in these jobs as mediocre. He has never directed anything larger than his congressional staff. . -
Thoughtful Virginians will Vote for Mary Sue Terry on Nov. 2. '
