Republicans have nominated their local slate of candidates. Game on
starting this week, with the Loudoun County Fair, and this weekend,
with Senator Herring's Weekend of Action.
1) Al Nevarez for Sterling - Over the weekend, Sterling Democrats
selected Al Nevarez to oppose Eugene Delgaudio as the Democratic
nominee for Sterling District Supervisor. Al has the distinction of
being the only candidate to actually outraise Eugene in a fundraising
quarter. If you want to continue to help his momentum to defeat
Loudoun's most infamous elected official, you can do so here:

political spectrum, our Republican counterparts had their convention
over the weekend and Scott York's adoption of a radical right agenda
did its job. He was narrowly nominated as the Republican candidate for
Board Chair.)
2) Senator Herring Weekend of Action - In addition to the regular
phone banks that the Senator's campaign holds on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings at Herring campaign HQ ( 44927 George Washington Blvd; Suite
145; Ashburn, VA), the campaign is holding a major Weekend of Action
this weekend, July 30 and 31. There will be canvassing, phone banking,
and Sunday evening the annual Ears and Cheers for Volunteers event.
I'm asking for Leesburg Volunteers to email lauren@markherring.org and
sign up to canvass on SUNDAY the 31st at 12:30. We'll be walking the
new Tolbert Precinct, and I'd like the Senator to know that his home
town Democrats are strongly behind him. More details about the weekend
of action can be found here:

3) Loudoun County Fair - The annual Loudoun County Fair is this week
(http://loudouncountyfair.com/
represented with a tent in a prominent location. What's more, the LCRC
(Loudoun County Republican Committee) in a fit of organizational
ineptitude, was unable to secure insurance for their tent, and
therefore will not be present at the Fair! (And yes, we're all aware
of the irony of a Republican committee who can't get help from an
insurance company.) Individual campaigns are responsible for staffing
the Democratic tent at the fair all week, so if you want to help out,
please contact a campaign: Mark Herring - www.markherring.org, Dave
Butler - www.votedavebutler.com, Kelly Burk - www.kellyburk2011.com,
Jennifer Wexton - www.votewexton.com, Tom Bellanca -

4) Supervisor Burk Jobs Symposium Thursday - Leesburg Supervisor Kelly
Burk is sponsoring a Jobs Symposium with local business leaders this
Thursday. (http://www.leesburgtomorrow.
The objective is to have a solid, and results-oriented discussion of
what local businesses need in order to grow the job base for local
talent. Everyone is welcome. It will be held Thursday from 8am - 10am
at the REHAU building (501 Edwards Ferry Road, NE, Leesburg).
5) Meetings - The next LCDC meeting is a week from Thursday, on August
4th at 7pm at Tolbert Elementary school (http://goo.gl/0eJ41). If
you're interested in becoming a voting member of the LCDC contact me
(cell - 443-421-0343, paradox13va@gmail.com). You don't need to be a
voting member to come, everyone is welcome. The next Leesburg
Democrats meeting is August 11th at 8pm at Sal's NY Grill
(http://bit.ly/e9xslw). I hope our newest Leesburg Democrats,
including those who were added to this group in the past couple weeks,
will come and meet us in person!
As always, if you want bumper stickers, yard signs, etc, let me know!
(Ann, I know I owe you a sticker :)
Go Dems!
