We had a great Committee meeting on March 15! Thanks to Karen Baker for Congress for sharing her story and why she's running for office!

Thanks also to Roberta Thacker-Oliver, Chair of the Rural Caucus Democratic Party of Virginia & Lee County Democrats, for coming and sharing about the upcoming DPVA Rural Retreat! We wrapped up the meeting by hearing from Senator Tim Kaine who thanked everyone who helped collect petition signatures to certify him on the primary ballot for re-election!
Russell County Dems had a great meeting on Friday, February 16! Thanks to Neal Osborne of Bristol, VA and the DPVA Rural Caucus Vice Chair for Membership for being with us and speaking to how to make progress in the Ninth. And to Isaac Murtha with the Kaine for Virginia campaign for updating us on the petition progress to get our friend Tim Kaine re-elected this November! Please reach out if you'd like to sign the petition to get Tim on the primary ballot!
Brandi Hurley was re-elected as Committee Vice Chair and updated us on the amazing grassroots organization that the "We Say No to Moss 3 Landfill" group has done to uncover, raise awareness, and hopefully stop the horrendous private landfill proposal. Chair Dustin Keith announced several upcoming Democratic events and updated the committee on early voting for the Dual Presidential Primary.
