I wanted to be the first to let you know that as of 5:00 pm today (Friday, April 11, 2008) the following candidates filed official papers for the November 4, 2008 elections:
U.S. SENATE Mark Warner
U.S. CONGRESS 2nd Congressional District Glenn Nye
3rd Congressional District Rep. Bobby Scott
7th Congressional District Anita Hartke
8th Congressional District Rep. Jim Moran
Matthew Famiglietti
10th Congressional District Judy Feder
Mike Turner
11th Congressional District Hon. Gerry Connolly
Hon. Leslie Byrne
Lori Alexander
Doug Denneny
All signs point to an exciting and successful year for Democrats and for Virginia families as a result. With two excellent presidential candidates and Mark Warner topping the ticket, Virginia's families can finally look forward to some relief after eight years of George Bush.
Virginia law states that there will be no primary in races "when less than two candidates declare." For those Congressional races with more than one candidate, the primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, June 10, 2008.
The DPVA will certify all its candidates by 5:00 pm Wednesday, April 16.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support. Let's WIN and make some real change in November!
Levar Stoney
Executive Director, DPVA
