The Business Leadership Fund (BLF), a political action committee representing the regional business community, is pleased to announce its endorsement of the following Salem City Council candidate: Mayor Randy Foley.

After hosting interviews with candidates in both localities, the BLF voted to endorse Foley as representatives of the PAC’s pro-business, pro-economic development and pro-regionalism platform.

“The Business Leadership Fund’s support for Ferris, Bestpitch and Cobb fosters a unique blend of experience and fresh ideas that will help build on Roanoke’s momentum and recent successes,” said Chairman Rick James. “In Salem, the BLF voted to endorse incumbent Randy Foley for Council. We strongly believe Mayor Foley’s proven leadership and vision for Salem, including the Downtown Plan, will continue to strengthen the city’s economic climate and make it an even better place to call home.”
