DPVA Chooses Primary for 2013 Statewide Elections
RICHMOND -- At their quarterly meeting in Stafford this past Saturday, the Democratic Party of Virginia's Central Committee voted with an overwhelming majority in support of a primary to choose the democratic nominees for the 2013 Statewide Elections.
"The Democratic Party of Virginia's decision to choose our 2013 candidates by primary reflects the commitment to maximize engagement, inclusion and transparency that is a hallmark of our party," said DPVA Chairman Brian Moran. "Our party's unified decision to conduct an open and transparent primary stands in stark contrast to the Republican Party's tumultuous decision to reverse their vote to have a primary and turn their nominating process over to extreme Republican Party."
