Join us in knocking on doors and getting out the vote for this crucial 2023 State election that will determine the control of the General Assembly–and whether the GOP can continue to erode our rights–to vote, to control what happens to our bodies, to educate our children, to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and so much more! With the new district lines, getting information to voters is more important than ever!
WHEN: Every Saturday morning at 10 am WHERE: The Corner Deli Market (the old Hackley’s Store) 14820 Lee Hwy in Amissville.
Eve Brooks is organizing this effort. Here’s what canvasser Christine van den Torn says:
“Eve and I and a few others have been out in the past weekends and it definitely showed us how important it is! Many people just aren’t paying attention to the races and don’t know the facts about how to vote. You will be on a team of two, so you’re not alone. It is actually fun and invigorating! We are going to Democratic and Democrat-leaning households. I haven’t had one difficult or rude interaction. Everyone has been pretty nice and willing to talk. And it only takes about 2 hours for one list of doors, so not much of your time. The Deli market where we meet has really good breakfast sandwiches and pupusas! “
Last weekend at the home of Linda and John Donovan, over 100 guests came out in support of razor-thin races in VA that will determine control of the House of Delegates and State Senate! Sen. Creigh Deeds, former House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn, and Del Jennifer Carroll Foy roused the crowd for three hot Democratic candidates: Russet Perry for Senate 31, Travis Nembhard for House 22, and Josh Thomas for House 21. Jason Ford, our candidate for Senate 28, also joined the crowd. We raised over $50,000 for these crucial contests. By the end of the evening, a harvest super-moon shone down on the hills of our beautiful county. A good omen!

The Rappahannock County Democrats are heartbroken at the news of Rep. Jennifer Wexton’s decision not to seek re-election next year due to advancing neurological illness. She has been a fierce defender of our rural community since her election in 2018 as one of a trio of young progressive Virginia women—along with Abigail Spanberger and Elaine Luria. She loves the Rapp Dems, which she characterized as “small but mighty!” It was our great honor to campaign for her in the “new” 10th. We understand and support her decision and wish her all the best, and we will hold her spirit in our hearts in our work for all Virginia Democrats.
