After an energizing election season in 2019 resulting in a new Democratic majority in the Virginia General Assembly, the members of the LOW Democratic Club will now turn our attention to preparing for the 2020 election season.
Members and interested LOW residents are encouraged to join us at our first meeting of the new year on Wednesday, January 8 at 1:30 p.m. at the LOW Community Center.
We’ll start with a presidential “straw poll” to gauge support for the Democratic candidates in advance of our Virginia “Super Tuesday” primary on March 3rd. Come prepared to vote for your preferred candidate! We’ll then welcome our guest speaker Bettina Weiss, campaign manager for the re-election of Rep. Abigail Spanberger.
Ms. Weiss will provide us with an update on Rep. Spanberger’s accomplishments during her first year in the House of Representatives. A member of the Foreign Relations and the Agriculture Committees, Rep. Spanberger has already distinguished herself as a pragmatic problem-solver who is working across party lines to propose and pass legislation that will benefit her constituents and enhance national security. As important has been her constituent services work which has returned more than $570,000 to constituents and solved more than 600 cases in 2019. If you need help dealing with a government agency, contact Rep. Spanberger’s Spotsylvania office for assistance at 540-321-6130. We look forward to seeing Rep. Spanberger here at the Lake a little later this year.
Please join us – visitors and new members are very welcome at all our meetings.
