In his first day as governor-elect, Bob McDonnell yesterday announced his transition committee leaders, including Tom Farrell, chairman and CEO of the state’s largest utility, Dominion Resources.

Rep. Rick Boucher has proven time and again that Virginia and the nation’s consumers come first. This was again made clear with his recent work on climate change legislation now being considered by the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee. As a senior member of the committee, Boucher has worked tirelessly to listen to those most interested and affected by the legislation and has been a leader in finding common ground.

With Gov. Timothy M. Kaine leading the way, a special group of Virginia students spent yesterday morning in downtown Richmond, engaged in a lively, frank discussion about what makes a good leader.
