The Charlottesville Democratic Committee
The Charlottesville Coalition for Gun Violence Prevention (CCGVP) has chartered a bus at Noon on Monday 1/16 to go to an MLK Day rally in Richmond to demand passage of sensible, common sense Gun Violence Prevention laws. For more information visit http://evite.me/DUfpPfTc93.
Wednesday was the 10th anniversary of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut in which 20 first graders and 6 school staff members were murdered… one of many mass shootings in our country, and of course a few weeks ago here in Charlottesville.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. 😜
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!
— Dashad Cooper and John McLaren, Cville Dems co-chairs
To bounce Bob Good and get Josh Throneburg elected, we need a great turnout; that’s where you and your friends come in!
See you at the polls!
