State Senator (and now Author) Danica Roem at Book Festival
Danica Roem, a Democratic State Senator from Manassas who has just published a memoir “Burn the Page”, will appear at the Virginia Festival of the Book on Saturday, Mar. 23 at 10:30am at the Paramount Theater.
Roem is a former newspaper reporter and lifelong Virginia resident who in 2017 became the first out-and-seated transgender state legislator in American history. She completed her third and final term serving the 13th District of the Virginia House of Delegates after the 2023 election and on January 10 this year Roem was sworn in to represent the 30th District of the Virginia State Senate.

The first Executive Committee meeting of the year was a success. Much to do in this coming year!
Young people 22 and under – 76% vote Democratic. This has sparked some new ideas from our members, ranging from election stickers on scooters to using voter registration proof for entry to events. Two events suggested for free admission with a voter registration card were a women’s basketball tournament at Tonsler Park and/or possibly a play entitled It Can’t Happen Here (yes, the decades old Sinclair Lewis political play, updated with today’s urgency) if it were to be produced here.
Here’s a talking point for those who may lean for Republican Bob Good: “Did you know that he hasn’t gotten a single bill out of committee? He’s not being effective at working for his constituents.”
