About Our Guest Speaker
Bill Bolling was born and raised in the coalfields of
blue collar parents who worked hard and saw him become the first member of the
Bolling family to graduate from college.
While in college, he met and married his wife, Jean Anne. In
1981 they moved to the Richmond suburb of Mechanicsville in Hanover County
where they put down roots and raised two sons, Matt and Kevin. Bill and Jean
Ann have been married 32 years.
Professionally, Lieutenant Governor Bolling is employed as a
Vice President with Riggs, Counselman, Michaels and Downes, one of the nation’s
largest independent insurance agencies.
In 1991 Bill Bolling sought his first elected office. He was
elected to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and served as a member and
Chairman of the Board until 1995. While serving in local
government, he also served as Chairman of the Greater Richmond
Economic Development Partnership.
In 1995 Bill was elected to the Senate of Virginia. In one
of Virginia's most hotly contested political campaigns, Bolling defeated a
twenty-year incumbent and helped the Republican Party obtain parity in the
Senate for the first time.
On November 8, 2005, Bill Bolling was elected to serve
as the 40th Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In an election
year that favored Democrats, Bolling received more votes than any other
statewide Republican candidate, a testimony to the strength of the campaign he
ran and the effectiveness of the message he delivered to the people of
Virginia.
On November 3, 2009, Bill Bolling was re-elected to a second
four-year term as Lieutenant Governor with an impressive victory that claimed 57%
of the popular vote.
During his second term as Lieutenant Governor, Bolling has
focused his attention on getting Virginia’s economy moving again and
creating jobs, serving as Chief Jobs Creation Officer in Gov. McDonnell's
Cabinet.
Bill is heading up Virginia's 2012 Mitt Romney for U.S.
President campaign, working to return Republicans to the White House. He is
running for the 2013 gubernatorial campaign.
