“Looking at the three candidates, Chris, like the cream, rose to the top … Chris is an honest person with integrity, and he will work with the other City Council members. He will look at all sides of an issue, because every issue has more than one side. And then looking at all sides, then he can arrive at a logical and well thought out decision and vote, and not be swayed by individuals or action groups who believe that they can run the city … I’m proud to endorse Chris because I believe as a native son he knows Waynesboro, believes in Waynesboro, loves Waynesboro, just like I do. And he will do a fine job as a new City Council member from Ward B.”
- Mayor Tom Reynolds, The News Leader, April 28
