DPVA State Committees Meet
The DPVA Steering and Central Committee met this weekend in Hampton VA. Highlights included Congressman Bobby Scott’s speech, discussion of 2011 results and lessons and 2012 Obama and Kaine campaign activities, and adoption of resolutions.
Virginia Obama State Director Lise Clavel (who managed Tom Periello’s campaigns and served as his Chief of Staff) reported that field staff is growing from 15 t0 50 and will exceed 100 by next year. They will open 50 offices around the Commonwealth (Fairfax and Newport News opened today). The Obama campaign will work closely with DPVA and local party committees. An early focus will be voter registration, with a number of drives around the state scheduled for next weekend. Bookmark the OFA-VA page and participate in upcoming events. I was impressed with Lise and the campaign’s specific plans. 2012 should have 2x-3x the turnout of 2011 — if we get our people to the polls, Obama will again carry Virginia.Read More »DPVA State Committees Meet
