Ann. F. Ridgeway, candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, received an enthusiastic welcome from a large crowd attending the LOW Democratic Club’s annual Flag Day Picnic on June 12.
The event, which took place in Marion Pronk Hall at the LOW Community Center, featured full fried chicken dinners, door prizes and even a song from the fabled “Demettes” songstresses.
But the highlight of the event was an appearance by Ann Ridgeway, whose “We the People” campaign is working to represent the 30th state senate district in the November election. The Madison County, wife, mother, teacher and community activist explained her reasons for becoming a political candidate and answered questions on the issues from voters.
In support of her campaign, the LOW Democratic Club presented Ridgeway with a check for $500.
More information about Ann and her candidacy is available at her Web site at Ridgeway for Delegate.
