Republican candidate. Boh Daniel - the incumbent. Daniel used his exper- ience in Congress to help convince the people of the 4th District that he was more competant And Farms the government classes O’Brien at times seemed Congress and therefore we should have “an above- unsure of the power of his “would-be” position. When pressed for his views, he confessed that he was con- fused and a benevolent student informed him of tliese powers In a pre-election rally for the candidates. Barbara Kersey expressed the view that O’Brien, being a middle-class person would be able to relate to the problems of the aver- age person. This is a claim that couldn’t be contended with. Rick Bass for Daniel, thought that mediocrity had no place in average” person to repre- sent us. Daniel clearly beat O’Brien in the election and the victory was con- ceded before ten o’clock. In spite of O’Brien’s sweep of the Portsmouth, Cheasapeake and Virginia Beach areas, he did not do well enough to bring up the figures in the remaining areas where he more often than not was defeated by Daniel decisively. In the school election, however, the incumbent Daniel was defeated by a very narrow margin by O’Brien. 27

The student body took an active part in the construction and dis- play of signs. Bob Daniel — two term in- cumbent in Congress — and Billy O’Brien — Delegate to the Virginia State Con- gress — each trying his best to do the “best” for the 4th District. Daniel well known for his con- servative fiscal policies and his multitude of hold- ings in major corpora- tions. O’Brien of solid reputation as football coach of Great Bridge High School, promised to re- present the district, not as a politician but as a constituent would see the issues. As he said, “It is time to put someone like you in Congress.” Daniel ran his cam- paign as would any worthy incumbent, stressing his record and experience in an effort to gain the support of the majoritv ' . Although Daniel had no lack of fi- nance, his time for cam- paigning was so thinly stretched to such a point that it seemed he might possibly loose his lead in the pre-election polls. O’Brien was practic- ally the opposite. He had more time to campaign, but fell short in campaign donations and had to place a second mortgage on his house. In an interview with Barbara Kersey, sought to prove the reasons that showed Billy O’Brien to be the best repre- sentative for this area. 26
