Lynwood Lewis

 CHINCOTEAGUE -- Delegate Lynwood Lewis had breakfast Saturday morning with about two dozen supporters at the Waterside Inn.

Lewis thanked the people for coming and informed them of the progress he has witnessed as he campaigns on the island.

"The response we have gotten as we campaign on the island has been encouraging," said Lewis. "People have been friendly and have volunteered to help without being asked."

Lewis said two of the things he is most proud of is his support of the broadband effort and the regional spaceport at Wallops Island. Both, he said, would have a positive impact on Chincoteague and the Eastern Shore.

Lewis talked with the people who attended the meeting, listening to their concerns, before going out to campaign during the afternoon hours.

The breakfast was sponsored by Donna and Tommy Mason, owners of the Waterside Inn.

Lewis has been in the Virginia House of Delegates since 2003 and faces a challenge in the Nov. 3 election from Republican Melody Scalley and Independent John Smith Jr.
