Hampton Roads

What can you do, right? Jeff, for me, it's beating Hampton Institute.

I mean, look, the sea criminals pirates of Hampton Roads have been brought to justice by the mighty Spartan Army.

Jeff, what coach is most likely to coach themselves into a change? Extension, firing, loss of power, NFL job, et cetera? I

don't know.

We would do the DC show.

We would do Hampton roads, Virginia beach, uh, within all in the DMV area.

And that's a big reason why I moved to that area because most of the conventions are in that spot.

So I already had clientele.

Last but not least, we're a week away.

Control of Congress is on the line as Americans prepare to vote in the midterm elections Tuesday, November 3rd here in Hampton Roads.

Congresswoman Jen Kiggins faces Democrat Elaine Luria in a closely watched rematch for Virginia's 2nd District.

Listen to Carrie and Mike on Tuesday night for election night coverage on WTAR for your chance to win Aberdeen Barn gift certificates brought to you by Net Worth Realty and Better View Windows and more.

And that has exposed us to over 30 million families in the U.S. From that, we've got a great deal of responses.

And one of those responses is a new partnership that we're forming with Hampton University to come alongside of them and work in eight counties in the Hampton Roads area.

So we're real excited about that.

Millions of families will be exposed to what does it look like to have family transformation taking place in their home.

Yeah.

We are not only a hub where we write programming so you can come and do lessons with us, but we're also a creative hub for creatives all over Hampton Roads.

They come in.

They were just in there rehearsing for Timberland Way Weekend.

But again, there are those bellwethers, whether that's in New York.

There's Virginia, too, down in the Hampton Roads area.

There are a number of toss-up seats in Pennsylvania, I think, that could be telling.

If we look on the Senate side, obviously Ohio is a state that everybody has been watching that has historically been a presidential bellwether.

And today we're pleased to be joined by Dana Weston Graves of Sentara Health, where she is a Senior Vice President and Acute Care Market President for the Southeast Market Norfolk, which includes Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, a level one trauma center with 525 beds, and Sentara Lee Hospital.

Dana is an experienced health care leader and part of a health system recently recognized by Newsweek as one of America's best workplaces for women.

My son just entered high school last week.

We're in the Richmond area, so we have a pre-Labor Day start.

I know you're in Hampton Roads, and Hampton Roads still traditionally has that post-Labor Day start, which many communities in Virginia had until the law was changed several years ago.

And the high school years and the teen years are certainly an adventure.

So I think that Virginia needs a veteran, especially somebody who's been – very knowledgeable about deployments and the huge burdens, not only on the service member, but on the families that are left behind.

And given the high concentration of operational military in Hampton Roads, and especially also in Northern Virginia, where we have just a high concentration of our quote-unquote administrative military, I think we really need to have a veteran in the United States Senate, which has been lacking for a long time.

But the other issue is Virginia gets the highest amount of defense dollars per capita of any state in the nation.

And so it's very important to Virginia's economy as well.
