Why a Primary?

I have been asked why the Democrats are having a June 11 primary when the Democratic candidate for Governor, Terry McAuliffe, is uncontested.   That is true but the other offices are contested.   Aneesh Chopra and Ralph Northam are running for the Democratic nomination for Lt. Governor while Mark Herring and Justin Fairfax are both running for Virginia Attorney General.

As a voter, please be informed about your candidates.  The best way to get introduced to them is by studying their websites.  Click on the images on the right to go to their websites.  From there, you can friend them on Facebook which will tell you a little more about their campaign activities and the issues they care about.

Remember the June 11 Democratic primary is only about a month away!

CAUCUS CANCELLED

The Giles County Assembled Democratic Caucus scheduled for this Saturday, May 4, has been cancelled.   I received only 2 applications  so that was less than the 5 needed to vote at a caucus.     Also, I plan to be at the courthouse from 11:30-noon Saturday in case anyone didn't get the message.

As I receive more information about the 9th Congressional District Democratic Party convention (May 25 in Abingdon) including candidate appearances, that information will be posted here Anyone can attend and we still have two delegate vacancies  to vote for candidates for the state central committee.  


If you are interested in attending the convention or becoming a delegate, contact Joan at email JoanK48@gmail.com or phone 921-4055.
