The Democratic Party of Virginia will hold its quarterly meeting this coming weekend at the Fredericksburg Expo and Conference Center (2371 Carl D. Silver Parkway, 22401) – the Steering Committee will meet Sept. 11 at 7:30 pm and the Central Committee will meet Sept. 12 at 10 am. The meetings will focus on the fall..
At last – Tuesday is primary election day – Democrats can vote at their usual polling place, from 6 am to 7 pm. Check here for your polling place. Everyone knows that Lt. Governor is an important job – the LG advances the agenda of a Democratic Governor, is the party leader if there isn’t a Democratic..
