As we process what seemed like an inconceivable outcome, we should first celebrate the work we did. Tim Kaine is going back to the Senate for a third term! Suhas Subramanyan will represent us in the CD10. Those of us who canvassed in Culpeper and Madison helped Eugene Vindman fill Abigail Spanberger’s shoes in CD7! They are ready to fight in Washington for our Democratic values—for democracy itself.
The Rapp Dems are stronger and bigger than ever. Last night’s election party at New Iberia attests to our unity and joy. We can and will come back stronger.
As Margaret Mead said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Let’s rest up and meet again this Saturday, November 9th for our next general meeting at the Washington Town Hall. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. for coffee and conversation, meeting starts at 10:00 a.m. See you there!
We’ve got elections to focus on next year too, including sending Abigail to Richmond next year and supporting a new candidate against Mike Webert. 2026 will be here before we know it, so let’s come together, reflect and strategize on how we shape the future!
SATURDAY: Early Voting Rally and Canvass Kick-Off from 9-11 am at the Courthouse in Little Washington. Saturday, October 26 is the first Saturday of early voting. Join us for coffee and donuts to rally with other Dems. We will hold our canvass kick-off at the same location, so come and grab a donut and coffee before you head out to knock doors.
The Rapp Dems welcome you! Democrats believe we can and should make life better for families across our nation, through fairness, justice, and equality for all. From workers’ rights to protecting the environment, from equal pay to fighting the special interests, and defending a person’s right to choose what happens to her or his body—we stand up for all Americans and those struggling to get there.

Democratic US Sen Tim Kaine and VA Senator Suhas Subramanyam came to Rapp Sunday, September 8, for a round table discussion about the county and their campaigns—Kaine for re-election and Suhas for our 10th Congressional district. A dozen Rappahannockans—farmers, educators, environmental activists, entrepreneurs, community organizers, and more—shared their concerns and took questions from the crowd. It was a friendly and inspiring moment, on a sunny Sunday afternoon at the Park pavilion, to see these dedicated public servants working hard to listen to their constituents and look for solutions.
