Welcome ...
Our
Democratic slate is set for November! Congratulations to our
statewide team of Creigh Deeds, Jody Wagner, and Steve Shannon.
Let’s get out there and do what we can and must do to make sure we
keep Virginia in the blue column. You did it last year with the
historic election of Barack Obama. Now is not the time to sit back
and rest; we must continue that momentum and elect our Democratic
slate.

Not only must we work to elect the top of the ticket we have to make sure we return our incumbent members of the House of Delegates and pick up the six additional seats to take control of the House and join the senate with a Democratic majority in both houses. This is where your Women’s Caucus is going to focus its attention this summer and fall. Right now the Executive Board is sending questionnaires to our candidate for Lt Governor, Jody Wagner, and to each of the women running in the house and where we have identified them in local elections. [Click here for the questionnaire.] We will be reviewing their responses and endorsing in July. We will announce our endorsed candidates on this web page in July. So keep coming back to this page often for important information on your candidates and how you can help them both financially and with shoe leather!
It is also the time of year for membership renewals. Please pay your dues now (and if you are not yet a member click on Join Us! You can pay $ 10 online or mail a check made payable to Virginia Democratic Women’s Caucus and mail it to the Democratic Party of Virginia. Members have full voting rights and a voice in the Caucus.
As a said earlier this spring, I look forward to working with you this fall and being able to pen a congratulatory note on this page in November when Democrats take back the control of the House of Delegates. It will also give me great pleasure to be able to say that we have elected all three of our top statewide candidates on November 3!
