Here in Virginia we have off year elections. I have worked setting up precincts for the Democratic candidates in the City of Newport News. Last election, when Jim Webb defeated George Allen I set up all 42 precincts in our city. I made sure the precinct "captains", I call them "point persons", had all the information and materials to get the job done. We got the job done, we got Jim Webb elected to the U.S. Senate, no small feat.
Last year I became the 3rd District representative to the Virginia Democratic Central Committee. Then I was asked to be the 3rd District rep to the Virginia Democratic Women's Caucus. www.VaDWC.org
Since then our women's caucus has been quite busy. We are endorsing and working for women candidates in the state of Virginia. We have been interviewing them and have endorsed many financially. We have many exceptional and accomplished women candidates that support our education, health, and other initiatives to make our state infrastructure stronger.
We need these candidates in our legislature to not only turn the state of Virginia blue, but to have common sense returned to our state after too many years of Republican majority. A majority that has robbed our commonwealth of compassion for the citizens it is supposed to represent.
The following list of endorsed candidates by the Virginia Democratic Women's Caucus is a tribute to the women of Virginia. It shows you that women can and will make a difference for our state.
Visit their websites and help in any way you can!
This November I am going to help turn Virginia blue.
Won't you help me?

I am already contributing to a few of those campaigns and will consider a few more because I firmly believe that the time is ripe for more women in leadership roles in America and in Virginia.
I am also excited about John Miller's education platform and would love to see him win by a large margin over Stall.
