Will DPVA Tell Us Who Our 2007 Candidates Are?

Can someone with some influence with any DPVA official please ask them to find a place on their new website that lists all the candidates running for office, unless, of course, Ralph Northam and Chap Petersen are the only ones running this year.  It'd be nice to see a list of Democrats who are running, by district, and with a link to their website ... just somewhere on the site!

Go to their webpage, http://www.vademocra... select "The Party" drop down, select "Candidates" and there you find only the names of two Democrats running for office! http://www.vademocra...

And the "back" function still hasn't been fixed.....  Is that so hard to fix?  It's a travesty to let something like this go unfixed.  It makes us look so unprofessional at a time when we need to show that we can at least run a website that's useful!

UPDATE:  Since the DPVA can't, at this time, give us the names of 2007 candidates, I'd suggest those who are curious go the following links for who's running:

***House of Delegates  http://vpap.org/cand...
***Senate:  http://vpap.org/cand...

Wait until the paperwork is filed... (Loudoun County Dem - 3/28/2007 11:27:56 AM)
There are some restrictions on when the party can officially recognize candidates (including whether the nomination is a contested race). Also, some potential candidates have not yet made up their mind on whether or not they are going to run.


Thanks for the information (Dianne - 3/28/2007 12:56:37 PM)
...so are the two listed not considered official?


Those 2 were "Focused Candidates" (elevandoski - 3/28/2007 1:10:54 PM)
That's not a list of our "official" candidates.  Chap Peterson and Ralph Northam were two featured candidates on their frontpage.  Actually if you want to see a complete list of our Democratic candidates, go to ActBlue.com, click on Candidates Directory.  Click on Statewide Candidates and Virginia. Voila! You gots a list of all the Dems that have filed so far for 2007 races.  AND...  while you're there, give some bucks $.  Midnight March 31st is the deadline for the next campaign filing reports.  Remember what Alice Marshall at GOTV said about how giving $10 now in March is like giving $100 in October.  Early and often!!!
