When asked at the candidate forum in Roanoke about the
alignment between public investment in education and the
growing needs in the business community, Langrehr suggested
higher funding toward community colleges to help provide more
specic programs pertaining to particular jobs. Charles Midkiff,
president of the Young Democrats, has been working with Don
on his campaign for ve years. We really need someone with
experience that knows how the education system works in the
area quotes Midkiff when relating to alignment with businesses.
Midkiff said, Don believes that every American should have
the right to have a livable wage and he has been trying to use
the education institutions we have at Radford and Virginia Tech
to bring manufacturing jobs to the area. Hes trying to help poor
people and also he wants to make sure tuition rates remain low
for students. He actually really does care about the students here
at Radford and the people of the 12th District.
Langrehrs participation within the NRV community has already
resulted in major road improvements, hundreds of well-paying
new jobs, years of stable town budget, advancements in RU
students serving as teachers, interns, and reading specialists, and
help toward reading on grade level for hundreds of K-12 students.
According to Senator Mark Warner, Don Langrehr has
consistently proven himself as a strong leader who stands up for
his constituents. He has helped create quality, high paying jobs
through smart economic incentives.
At the campus forum on Tuesday, Oct. 25, Langrehr reiterated
his motion toward helping education and jobs in Southwest
Virginia. He suggested the ceasing of tuition increases and
recommended additional funding toward schools for higher
education.
He said, Invest in quality to get quality.
When asked what specic plans he had in direct affect with
college students, he proposed the increase in internship
opportunities including rewards that go beyond experience, such
as salary and future job holds.
Referring to a question about creating blue-collar jobs in
the Southwest, Langrehr mentioned bringing jobs over from
Northern Virginia. Prosperity doesnt happen by accident, said
Langrehr. Bringing green jobs to the Southwest was also discussed
at the forum. We must start the transition now,Langrehr said,
alternative energy programs should get the same tax breaks as
fossil fuels.
Langrehr closed the forum saying Im not a puppet, no strings
attached except from my heart to yours.
