What an outstanding day in SWVA yesterday! A packed room of Dems from all over SWVA gathered for the first VADC SWVA Chairs Summit. Learning, sharing and strategizing on how we can win in ‘23, ‘24 and beyond is key to our success! Thank you to the Democratic Party of Virgina and the Rural GroundGame for making the trek to Wytheville for this very important day! Thank you to Virginia Blue Star Printing for our beautiful programs and to Tyler Hughes for entertaining us! thanks to Lynlee G. Thorne, and Taysha Lee DeVaughan for taking folks to hit the doors and put our strategy to the test! To the multitude of volunteers who made the day happen, I am forever grateful! We could not do this work without you!
-Roberta Thacker-Oliver, SW Vice-Chair VADC
Yesterday, families had to deal with the unthinkable, going home, never to speak to their most precious gifts ever again. Our hearts go out to them and will forever be with them.
We grieve for the families that lost so much yesterday. The only answer to this level of grief is action. Under Democratic leadership we saw the most lifesaving and impactful gun reform ever passed in Virginia. And we refuse to go back.
We, the collective group of 127 members of the Virginia Association of Democratic Chairs, stand firmly behind the Democratic Party of Virginia in calling upon Lt. Governor Sears to cancel her keynote address at the NRA conference. The time for political speeches is over, we need action.

Thank you Senator Warner for attending our first Chair’s breakfast this morning! Being a chair is a difficult task and having the support of people like our Senior Senator is paramount to the success of local committees.

Please share with your committees!
Add Your Name - Let VA Voters Decide! Marriage equality and voting rights are too important to leave up to a handful of people. Virginia voters deserve to have the final say!
