Senior Statesmen of Virginia VA-5 Candidate Forum (Gloria Witt only)
Candidates
We Need Canvassers!
There’s a big need for canvassers this election season:
- Every Saturday: 10 am, 1pm, and 4pm
- Every Sunday: 1pm and 4pm
We meet at the Coordinated Campaign Office, 1410 Incarnation Dr., Suite 203.
Canvassers are trained at the Charlottesville Democratic Coordinated Campaign Office (1410 Incarnation Dr., Suite 203) and leave from there to knock on doors – a high-priority activity right now!
The Harris-Walz and Kaine campaigns are working from this office until the election, and we will work there, too, to get Gloria Witt elected and vanquish John McGuire’s campaign.
“The “field” team at the Harris/Kaine/Witt office (Charlie and Jack) will train you, set you up with a great list of doors to knock, all on your (charged up!) cell phone, and give you a paper map and candidate literature (to get your canvass going more quickly, retrieve your Apple ID, which you’ll need in order to download the MiniVan app, before you go).
So come by, volunteer, and join our successful election this season!
Yard Signs! (some available now, some soon)
Signs are available at the Coordinated Office (1410 Incarnation Dr., Suite 203) for Sen. Tim Kaine and Gloria Witt.
Signs for the Harris presidential campaign are coming soon. There are Harris-Walz paper printouts to attach to existing signage (but they may not be waterproof).
If you’re interested in distributing signs, please contact co-chair Nancy Damon at NancyCDamon@gmail.com
Get to know Gloria Witt, Our Fifth District Candidate
Things to know about Gloria:
- She grew up working on her family’s farm in Amherst, VA, and learned to drive a tractor at age 14. Her family encouraged her to pursue higher education.
- After saving her farming money and buying a car for transportation, she went to college, with the encouragement of her family.
- She earned a degree in Communications and Economics from Randolph College.
- Gloria had a 32-year career with global energy company, Framatome, in Lynchburg.
- She is using her time and energy during retirement to help others through NAACP and the Central Virginia Academy for Nonprofit Excellence.
- She decided to run for office because she she could not stand by and watch rights trampled for women, minorities, and the LGBTQA community, and the disintegration of education and voters’ rights. These problems are perpetruated by our current 5th District Rep. Bob Good and supported by John McGuire, Trump’s latest hand-picked Republican candidate in the 5th District.
Help Gloria’s campaign by canvassing, phoning, and donating so she can communicate with voters!

We’re using the space for canvassing and other activities related to electing on November 5:
- Gloria Witt for the Fifth District congressional seat now occupied by Bob Good (Good lost the Republican primary to another MAGA extremist more loyal to Trump than Good was)
- Senator Tim Kaine to retain his seat by defeating yet another Republican MAGA extremist Hung Cao (e.g. anti-abortion, pardons for January 6 insurrectionists, etc.)
- Kamala Harris as our first female President!!!
The Big News: Vice President Kamala Harris will be the Democratic Presidential Candidate!!
Now that President Biden will not seek reelection, the Cville Dems are ready to get behind our new nominees for President and Vice President (latter announcement coming soon), Senator Kaine, Congressional candidate Gloria Witt, and all the other Democratic candidates.
We want to say a huge thank you to President Biden. He has been one of the most successful and consequential presidents in United States history and we owe him an incredible debt of gratitude. We are a better country for having him as our 46th president!
We need to come together to to win the November elections… the Cville Dems will be working hard to make this happen, please join us!
