Jennifer Carroll Foy, candidate for governor of Virginia, will speak to the Lake of the Woods Democratic Club on February 10.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. via the Zoom online meeting app.
Carroll Foy was born and raised in Petersburg, Va. After participating in Junior ROTC in high school she attended Virginia Military Institute (VMI) and was one of the first African-American women to graduate from the institution. She went on to earn her master’s and law degrees.
Her work as an attorney has focused on giving a voice to the often voiceless – children, individuals experiencing homelessness, those with mental illness and others. She was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017 from the 2nd District representing parts of Prince William and Stafford counties. She recently resigned from the House to focus on her gubernatorial run.
The LOW Democrats sponsored a food drive to benefit the Lions Wilderness Food Pantry on January 18as part of the Martin Luther King Day National Day of Service. The Club would like to express appreciation to Pat Unkle and her Lion colleagues who were so quick to facilitate this event, to LOWA Communications for helping spread the word, and the LOW Fire and Rescue for publicizing the event on its message board.
