Our local party will also use the space for canvassing and other activities related to getting Gloria Witt elected on Nov. 5 for the Fifth District House of Representatives seat currently held by Bob Good.

Sen. Tim Kaine also has an opponent, another Republican MAGA extremist, Hung Cao (e.g. anti-abortion, pardons for January 6 insurrectionists, etc.).

Cville Dem Attend State Convention

Posted on

On June 22, a full quorum of Charlottesville delegates went to Richmond to vote on resolutions and vote for national electors and state delegates to the Democratic National Convention that will begin in Chicago on Aug. 19.

It was a rousing day full of democratic visions and determination to elect Democrats straight down the line in November. VA05 candidate Gloria Witt and many others attended. A humorous and vibrant State Speaker of the House Don Scott chaired the day’s proceedings.

Posted on

Poster using a wide variety of different letter and background colors used with the words "Turn out the Vote Thursdays, Phone bank, Have a Taco, write postcards to voters"We’ll postpone our kickoff of Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Thursdays at Ix Park until Thursday, July 11, 5-7pm.

Because the Coordinated Campaign will be having their Office Opening and Debate Watch Party on Thursday, June 27, 7:30 to 11:00 pm (see above), and because the following Thursday is the Fourth of July, we decided to postpone.

Hopefully, we will be meeting every Thursday thereafter through Thursday, Oct. 31.  On July 11, we will be all set to go with canvassing, phone banks, text banks, and postcard writing.  Please plan to join us on the lawn outside of Brazos Tacos on July 11. Since the picnic bench can fill up fairly quickly, please bring a blanket or chair to sit on the grass.

Postcard writing is an expensive undertaking!  If you can contribute to the cost of printing and stamps, please do so by going to our Act Blue Page and clicking on postcards and stamps:  https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/charlottesville-democratic-committee-1
