Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli visited a pair of Hampton Roads small businesses Tuesday to trumpet his new jobs plan — a $1.4 billion income tax cut — in the face of Democratic attacks against his record on women’s health issues.

Just days before the Republican nominating convention at which Virginia conservatives will formally name Cuccinelli their candidate for governor, Cuccinelli was out refocusing his campaign squarely on economic issues that he hopes will help him win over crucial moderate and independent voters this fall.
