Mar. 3rd: Town Hall - Virginians for Fair Elections | Fairfax County Democratic Committee | Moving Virginia Forward | Neighbors, families, and friends united for progress |

 

Chair's Corner

Happy Monday!

 

There’s a lot happening this week — so let’s pace ourselves and get it done!


First up: our friends in Braddock close out their election season this Tuesday when we’ll send Tom Dannan to the Fairfax County School Board. Every Braddock polling place will be open from 6:00 AM – 7:00 PM. Text your friends, post on socials, and make sure voters know this is their moment.


And last Tuesday, more than 200 FCDC members showed up for the YES vote on redistricting. Members called the question early because they understood the stakes — and knew what had to be done. The result: over 98% support for the constitutional amendment.


Now the real work begins.


Between now and April 21, we knock doors, make calls, post yard signs, and make sure our neighbors understand why a YES vote matters.


Our districts and FCDC are working hard to raise the funds needed to power this referendum effort and the voter education that will follow — introducing Fairfax voters to their new members of Congress. Braddock hosted a packed SoupFest, and next Sunday we gather again for Democracy Savings Time — with not a moment to spare.


Please join us. Support the work. Bring a friend.

 

Onward — always together.
