Storage Lockers: They Take a Village
A group of dedicated Dems took some time after the election to clear out our storage unit! Masses of accumulated lawn signs (the wire frames that hold up lawn signs cost campaigns about three dollars each, so we have them available for the next campaign), campaign materials, office equipment, and…. stuff… were sorted, organized, and recycled or donated (e.g. a box of old campaign materials to the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society). Now we’re ready for 2023!
Thanks to everyone who helped make this magic happen: Bekah Saxon, Dashad Cooper, John McLaren, Mary Ann and Mark Harris, Mary Jane Gore, Nancy Damon, and Suzanne Michels.
Note: local politics is fun and rewarding, but not (always) as glamorous as people think. 😜
Tough Night for VA05
We’d like to extend a million “thank yous” to Josh Throneburg, his campaign staff, his family, and the army of volunteers and donors who supported him. We didn’t win last night, but we succeeded in putting out a positive message of Democratic values, compassion, and common sense. Josh deserves our gratitude and respect for going out on a limb and fighting for all the people of VA5; we can all hold our heads high.
We also congratulate Bob Good on his victory, and call on him to represent all voters in the district, including those who didn’t vote for him.
We’re hoping for good news on the national front. In the meantime, let’s rest up and prepare ourselves for the next election!
