Big Weekend

This weekend was huge! We made a trip to the Young Democrats convention, opened two field offices and brought hundreds of new volunteers in the process. Boy was it exciting seeing and talking to all those people as we begin to build a historic grassroots movement. I really enjoyed seeing such strong numbers of student Democrats at UVA Saturday. These are the young people who will really rally hard for our party. They are talented and hard working. And it’s a reminder that we’ve got to make sure we don’t lose Virginia’s best and brightest to other states.

I was also really feeling the energy in Charlottesville. Our local field office had standing room only for the grand opening and the crowd was pumped up and ready to work. The same was true in Richmond, where volunteers threw a huge party with live music and a Terry 2009 cake-- baked and donated by Just Cakes of Richmond. It was a great weekend and we’re just getting started! We’ve got 10 offices open across the Commonwealth. Our grassroots base is growing, and we want you with us. We’re pushing full steam ahead to June 9th!
