FCDC gets new officers, changes Bylaws

[Excerpt from the January 29 The Blue View article by Karen Kirk, Deputy Editor/Photo Editor of The Blue View.]

"Several hundred Democrats turned out for the Fairfax County Democratic Committee (FCDC) Reorganization Meeting Tuesday night and chose new leaders, revised bylaws and approved a resolution not to support a “flawed” Virginia redistricting plan. Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring kicked off the meeting at Madison High School in Vienna by thanking Fairfax County Democrats for all that we do. “Year in and year out, you’re a committee that really delivers,” he said. Outgoing FCDC Chair Dan Lagana opened the meeting and thanked several volunteers who went above and beyond in contributing to committee. Among them were Treasurer Nadja Golding, new FCDC Chair Bryan Graham and Tom Goodwin."

FCDC Members also passed a resolution regarding redistricting and revised bylaws.
