Hey John -

Tomorrow we celebrate Memorial Day. As we spend time with family and friends this weekend, whether virtually or while social distancing, let’s remember those who gave their lives serving our country. Memorial day and everyday, we honor their sacrifice.

We also want to update you on what the Arlington Young Dems have been up to! This past week, we held our weekly movie night and our biweekly happy hour. There are more digital events on the way and we hope you will join us!

Reminder that the deadline to register for the Arlington County Board Special Election is Tuesday, May 26th at 11:59 pm online [[link removed]] .
