July 2017 Meetup Recap

Last night, despite the challenge of many DC4D members being out of town on vacation, we voted unanimously to endorse a slate of candidates in the 2017 Virginia elections. There were 27 votes in favor of endorsing out of a total of 28 ballots cast (one ballot was spoiled). A special thanks to Kendrick Jackson, Chris McGraw and Yuri Nemetz for serving as Election Inspectors, and for Travis Ballie (NARAL), Kara Mailman (NARAL-Virginia, Paul Murphy (Virginia Coordinated Campaign) and Zach Weinstein (National Working Families) for contributing to the discussion.

We endorsed the following candidates:

Statewide offices
Ralph Northam (D) for Governor
Justin Fairfax (D) for Lieutenant Governor
Mark Herring (D) for Attorney General (Incumbent)

Candidates for House of Delegates (in order of District)
Jennifer Carroll Foy (D), 2nd District
Wendy Gooditis (D), 10th District
Danica Roem (D), 13th District
Elizabeth Guzman (D), 31st District
David Reid (D), 32nd District
Donte Tanner (D), 40th District
Kathy Tran (D), 42nd District
Lee Carter (D), 50th District
Hala Ayala (D), 51st District
Karrie Delaney (D), 67th District
Jennifer Boysko (D), 86th District
