Progressive Democrat Issue 110: VIRGINIA FOCUS

Virginia is one of the states with some important elections in 2007. In 2005 and 2006, we had some big wins in Virginia. Let's continue that trend.

I want to introduce a candidate for Virginia State Senate, 34th District in the general election November 6th, 2007. Chap Peterson was Fairfax City Councilman (1998-2002) and then as a State Delegate (2002-2006). Now he is running for State Senate. His stands on the issues tend to be conservative on taxes and budgets, but has good stands when it comes to mass transportation, alternative fuels, wetlands restoration (critical for both the environment and protecting our coastlines from storms), and health care.

I urge my Virginia readers to consider donating or volunteering. Focusing on local races in 2007 will prepare the ground for the big year, 2008.
