Prior to the 2010 election, Virginia Democrats had a 6-5 majority in the US House of Representatives.  After a bad election and worse GOP-controlled redistricting, we are down to 3-8.  But we are fighting back and this year we have quality candidates in each Congressional District.  Please support these candidates with your votes, your time, and/or your money.

• 1st CD (eastern VA) – Adam Cook, a young and very thoughtful (and tall) veteran, challenges Cong. Rob Whitman
• 2nd CD (tidewater) – Businessman Paul Hirschbeil is trying to unseat 1st term Tea Partier Cong. Scott Rigell
• 3rd CD (Hampton-Richmond)  – Incumbent and awesome Congressman Bobby Scott, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, deserves re-election to an 11th term
• 4th CD (tidewater/southside) – Chesapeake City Councilor and educator Dr. Ella Ward is running a spirited campaign against Cong. Randy Forbes
