Gillespie offers more details than Northam does

OK, somebody ought to say this so we’ll say it: Ed Gillespie has a lot more ideas than Ralph Northam does.
That’s not to say Gillespie’s ideas are better than Northam’s; that’s more a matter of ideological taste. However, it’s fair to say that the Republican candidate for governor has put forward a lot more policy proposals than the Democrat has.
…
Northam proposes to work with General Assembly leaders to come up with a bipartisan tax plan; Gillespie has already released a detailed plan of tax cuts. He says his tax cuts would make it easier for entrepreneurs to start new companies and existing companies to expand to Virginia
…
The point here, though, is that Gillespie has a plan — and says Northam doesn’t.
…
Still, if you’re making a list of other differences between the two candidates, one big one is that Gillespie is a lot more detail-oriented than Northam is. If you’re a Democrat, that’s hardly a reason to vote for the Republican, but it does suggest that Gillespie would a competent chief executive. Whether you’d like the things he’d do, well, that’s another matter. All we can say for certain is that if you intend to read the two candidates’ policy positions to compare and contrast, you’re going to be reading more on Gillespie’s website than you are on Northam’s.
