DPVA CD and State Convention News

Last Saturday (May 12), I attended the 1st and 10th Congressional District Conventions in Fairfax and Frederickburg.  This Saturday (May 19), the remaining Congressional Districts will hold their conventions and our Unity Team for the DNC, Mame Reiley, Doris Crouse-Mays, George Wallace and I, or folks helping us, will cover those conventions.  The CD conventions will elect 69 National Convention Delegates and 7 Alternates (2/3 of the total elected Delegates and 3/4 of the Alternates) and chose Presidential Electors, and some CDs will consider also resolutions.  (See CD Convention details below.)

Then it’s on to the State Convention, and it was reported today that DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz will be featured at an event on Saturday night (June 2) – so Delegates should plan to stay in town after the convention adjourns.  Friday night (June 1) will feature events with Jim Webb and various hospitality suites.  Check the DPVA State Convention Schedule for details.
