John,

 

Our fight continues to build a strong resistance against the current administration, and that starts with the 2025 General Elections here in Virginia. We must ensure that a Democratic Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and House of Delegate Majority is secured to defend Virginia.

 

This week candidates from across the Commonwealth submitted their petitions to be on the 2025 Democratic Primary Ballot this June which is just around the corner (May 2nd).

 

AYD will be holding a series of primary forums for the Offices of the County Board (Member At-Large), School Board (At-Large), House of Delegates (HD-1) over the coming weeks for you to engage with candidates seeking the Democratic nomination.

 

This past Saturday, AYD hosted our annual Women's Policy Forum. A recording of the forum is available here.  AYD will be wrapping up the month of March, with AYD Hobby Hour. If you are interested in attending, please visit our Mobilize page.

Community Announcements

Blue Victory Dinner is Arlington Democrats' biggest event of the year, and this time, we're gathering under the theme: Fight for Freedom: Rise Up, Virginia. 

 

Join us for an evening with inspiring Democratic leaders and old friends to honor our Volunteers of the Year and renew our commitment to the fights ahead—standing up against the Trump administration and taking back the Governor's mansion for Democrats.

 

With our future on the line in 2025, this event isn't just about coming together—it's about preparing to win.

 

Your support powers our ability to rally, mobilize, and engage every Arlingtonian to vote for Democrats, giving us strength to stand firm and protect Virginia's future in the tough battles ahead.

Don't miss Blue Victory After Dark (BVAD)—an after-dinner celebration hosted by Arlington Young Democrats and open to all. Enjoy great music and even better company as you continue the night with fellow fired-up Democrats.

Let's get to work—see you there!
