Marcus & Allen join the Loyola Team


VIRGINIA BEACH, VA; August 6, 2009 – Ben Loyola, 2nd District Congressional Candidate, announced new additions to his campaign team today.

“I am very pleased to announce that Boyd Marcus and Ray Allen who have served as Republican Whip Eric Cantor’s political consultants for over 18 years have joined my campaign team.

In addition to Eric Cantor they have helped elect George Allen, Jim Gilmore, Thelma Drake, Bill Bolling and numerous other state and local officials.

Joining them in directing my campaign are Chris Woodfin and Aaron Gulbransen of ACT Consulting. Chris and Aaron have worked on numerous campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels over the past 20 years and have a tremendous local knowledge of Hampton Roads and the grassroots of our Party.

Additionally, we have also retained Creative Direct, a nationally known political mail firm that has handled numerous Governors, Senators and Congressmen across the nation. They also currently provide mail services for Congressmen Cantor Va-7, Wolf Va–10, and Wittman VA–1, here in Virginia.”

“I knew when I first met Ben that he was the kind of committed, conservative we need in Congress. From fleeing Cuba as a child to graduating from Annapolis and serving as a naval aviator and now a successful small businessman, Ben has lived the American Dream.” Chris Woodfin said.

“Ben Loyola is the kind of passionate, exciting candidate we need to win in the 2nd District. I am looking forward to working with Chris and Aaron and our whole team.” Boyd Marcus said. “This is a race we can win.”

Ben Loyola is a candidate for the Republican nomination in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. He’s a 25-year resident of Virginia Beach, 30-year Navy combat veteran, successful businessman, and Conservative Republican.
