- School Board Member Amanda Burns, coming to give us a ‘state of the schools’ as we head into a new school year that already has challenges (particularly financial).
- Jimmy Flood from the Spanberger/Coordinated Campaign, to let us know what we can expect in the next weeks/months, and how we can help.
Beyond that we have brief updates from our committee leaders, an introduction of our newly elected candidate for City Council – Jen Fleisher, as well as an introduction of our Cville Dems campaign intern, Tyler Heron.
Again – 7pm…..7pm…..7pm on Monday evening, July 28, at the Downtown Central Library (July 28th).

Paul Riley is Running for the Fifth District Next Year
On Wednesday, July 2, longtime Crozet resident and retired U.S. Army officer Paul Riley formally announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026, for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District. Paul is a pro-business moderate, focusing on restoring economic security, and making government work for working Americans, not just the wealthiest. A Bronze Star Awardee, he aims to protect earned benefits and healthcare for all, and will help veterans receive the support they have earned.
Soon another candidate will be announced. Stay tuned!
