“I appreciate the endorsement of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation (VFBF), AgPAC and the contribution our farm community makes to the Commonwealth. I currently serve as Chairman of the State Water Commission and am a member of the Agriculture, Chesapeake, and Natural Resources Committee which gives me the opportunity to have input on issues involving agri-business and other farm related items” said Del.
