HOLLAND RATING

Richard J. Holland has been named the highest-rated Democratic state senator and one of the top three members of the 40-member Virginia Senate by a pro-business research and information organization.

The Virginia Foundation for Research and Economic Education Inc. selected Holland based on votes on legislative issues important to business and the Virginia industrial community. In addition, the organization considered ratings by the business lobbying community.

Holland is a banker and businessman from Windsor, and he is a former president of the Virginia Bankers' Association. by CNB
