The Charlottesville Democratic Committee
Thanks for all you have done this year and all you continue to do.
Wishing you, and all of us, a healthy and happy 2025!
We hope that you’ll all start the New Year with your usual energy and enthusiasm – the Charlottesville Dems are depending on you!
From Our Albemarle Dems Friends (last newsletter):
If you have any energy left during the year-end break, writing a few postcards for the January 7 special elections could influence the makeup of the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates!
Control of the VA Assembly hinges on two fast-approaching special elections. In both races, Postcards to Voters needs volunteers to write postcards and GOTV for Dems by Dec. 26! Donate and learn more here:
These special elections aren’t just about Virginia, though — they’ll set the tone for the nation in 2025, notes the Democratic Party of Virginia in an email. If we win these races, we’ll be able to keep fighting for working families, reproductive rights, and a stronger democracy. But if we lose, we’ll be giving Republicans a big head start in the next election cycle.
Virginia is the only state in the South with full abortion access and a Democratic firewall against MAGA extremism. The outcome of these elections won’t just affect Virginians but everyone in the South who’s counting on us.
There’s a special election for John McGuire’s empty State Senate 10th District seat. The Democratic candidate is Jack Trammell, and the campaign will soon have postcards to be sent.
Senate District 10 covers a lot of our Fifth Congressional District. It borders Charlottesville and Albemarle County, and consists of part or all of the following counties: Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico (one tiny part), Louisa (Jack’s Home County), Powhatan, and Prince Edward. It includes the more Democratic and populated areas of Ashland, Lake Monticello, and Farmville.
Ways you can support Jack’s candidacy:
Trammell for Senate will start phone banking right away, and canvassing this weekend. Please fill out the volunteer interest form above if you’d like to help out.
We have a NEW Sweatshirt/T-shirt with a logo on front (nothing on the back). Sweatshirts are $20, T-shirts $10 — bargains bordering on a steal. Wear them proudly! Please get in touch with Josh Throneburg to get one or both: joshuathroneburg@gmail.com
Thanks to Blue Ridge Graphics for giving us amazing pricing so we can offer them to Charlottesville’s Democrats so inexpensively.
