Sorry that you havenGÇÖt heard from us in a while, but here is what we are up toGǪ(expect more as the year continues)Next Generation Democrats is pleased to endorse Jeff Dion, Democrat for Occoquan Supervisor on the Prince William Board of Supervisors. Jeff is the first Virginia endorsement for NGD, and the first candidate to receive a donation from us as well.
Jeff is a great candidate who has dedicated his life to public service. From his official bio
In 1982, when Jeff was just fourteen years old, his sister, Paulette, was brutally murdered at the age of 23. She was the random victim of a serial killer. Jeff and his family were devastated, but Jeff vowed to honor his sisterGÇÖs memory by fighting for justice and crime victimsGÇÖ rights.
Jeff is running against Mike GÇ£the Developers CandidateGÇ¥ May, in a special election on January 30th for the open seat representing Occoquan on the Prince William Board of Supervisors.
This race has the potential to be historic because Mr. Dion is openly gay and his election would be the first openly gay Supervisor in Prince William County. We bring this up not because we see this as an issue in the election, but because the right-wing bloggers have already started attacking Mr. Dion for his sexuality, and it is our job to defend him. DonGÇÖt support him because he is gay, but remember that the GOP and hate-mongers are sending in money from around the country to prevent his election.
Right now, there are few if any Democrats under the age of 60 elected in Prince William County and we look forward to increasing that number through the election of Mr. Dion.

Let's show the VA Gerrymandered Old Party that we are organized, energized and fighting for a better Virginia.
Even if you can only go down to Occoquan for an hour and make phone calls, or just make it out to a single canvass, those couple of voters are a large percent of what the total turn out will be.
The members of NGD have been out to the Prince William office to help a couple of times, and we will be trying to go down for the big GOTV push on weekend of the 27th and 28th. We will be sure to keep everyone informed about this.
