DPVA Thanks Virginia Democrats

Posted by Danae on Wednesday, December 12

The DPVA would like to thank everyone who came out to help us with Philip Forgit's campaign. There were certainly a lot of people helping within the First District. But, as a show of how much Democrats all across the state wanted to see Philip win this seat, we had contributions from people across the Commonwealth! Those contributions came in the form of checks, volunteer efforts and even understanding when we sent DPVA staff to go down for an entire month and help with Philip's campaign. In particular, our Field Director Dan Kelly did a wonderful job serving as Phil's Campaign Manager, and DPVA Deputy Finance Director, Jamie Nolan took over fundraising for the Forgit campaign. Even Democrats at the national level pitched in, with the DCCC paying for much needed tools like polling.

When we issued the call for help, you- Virginia Democrats- answered! THAT is why we continue to win in this state. We were not as successful as we would have liked to have been in this race. We all went in understanding that it would be difficult. But the DPVA is not discouraged because Virginia Democrats always answer the call and step up to the plate! We know that people all around the state- Democrats, Independents and Republicans alike- are hungry for a change that puts this country back on the right track. We will continue to come out, show up and work to make sure that change happens in the coming election year!

Finally, we have to thank Gov. Tim Kaine, Gov. Mark Warner and Sen. Jim Webb for their efforts. They contributed money, time and energy in this race. But none of the successes we've seen in recent years could have been achieved without YOUR help.

Again... thank you!
