There will be a Democratic primary to decide who will be running for the 3 open seats on City Council.

We do not endorse candidates prior to the primary.

Do you have any unique items or skills that could be donated for the 2019 Auction? Do you have secret skills that you could share with others? Do you have a business that would like to participate? Then we’re looking for you!

Each year at the Pasta Supper (this year, March 23!) we raise funds to support Democrats through an auction of unique items, services, and experiences. Popular past items have included artwork, jewelry, gift certificates, photography, overnight excursions, or hosting a special dinner event.

Thanks to the Charlottesville Democratic Committee of 100 for attending our meeting last week. We overwhelmingly voted to pass the following statement regarding the events of August, 2017 and our desire to diversify points of view within our organization:

Statement: “The Charlottesville Democratic Committee opposes all forms of discrimination that promote division, suppress equal opportunity, and deny anyone living in this country the right to equal protection under the law. We particularly denounce the racism and anti-Semitism that escalated into violence in our city in August 2017, and we reject the policies and beliefs that have underpinned those forces throughout our city’s and nation’s history. We are committed to fighting racism and anti-Semitism and their enduring and insidious effects in our community. We are also committed to helping to heal the city’s wounds and to building a diverse and inclusive Democratic Party in Charlottesville to better reflect the concerns of all residents.”
