CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCILOR BRIAN PINKSTON ENDORSES JOSH THRONEBURG FOR CD-5
Charlottesville – Josh Throneburg, Democratic candidate for Virginia’s Fifth District U.S. Representative, announced today that his campaign was endorsed by Charlottesville City Councilor Brian Pinkston.
Pinkston, the city’s newest councilmember, said his endorsement was based on Josh’s integrity, compassion, and commitment to building an equitable future.
“I am delighted Josh Throneburg is running for the Democratic nomination for the 5th Congressional District,” Pinkston said in a statement. “Josh is a person of integrity and compassion. His commitment to building a sustainable and equitable future for everyone is clear. So, too, is his work ethic. If elected, I know he’ll work his heart out for all of us.”
Pinkston was one of Josh’s first supporters when he announced his candidacy last year.
“Brian is a dear and valued friend, and I’m honored to have his continued guidance as he forges his own path as a force for positive change in Charlottesville,” Josh said. “Despite being in the midst of his own campaign, Brian has always been a reliable sounding board for me, and was willing to take time to entertain all kinds of questions from a first-time candidate. I’m grateful for his endorsement and will continue to rely on his wisdom and good judgment.”
Josh resides in the City of Charlottesville with his wife, Minhee, and their daughters, Agnes and Lucy. He is an ordained minister and local small business owner.
