8 Districts who voted HRC have NO Dem candidates running - deadline to run March 30

Get this:

Virginia has its state government primary elections this year. The deadline to run is 3/30. There are 8 districts where HRC won the popular vote that the Dems currently have NO candidate for:

District 12 (Montgomery County, Giles County, Radford City, Pulaski County)
District 100 (Accomack County, Norfolk, Northampton County)
District 10 (Loudoun, Frederick and Clarke Counties)
District 94 (Newport News)
District 73 (Henrico County)
District 68 (Chesterfield and Henrico Counties; Richmond City)
District 40 (Fairfax and Prince William Counties)
District 42 (Fairfax County)

The deadline for the Democratic primary is March 30th. That means we have less than two months to help shape this race. Please spread the word.

If the 2017 Virginia elections show Democrats expanding their base, it will send a signal nationwide as to the vulnerability of Republicans around Trump.

2017 is the 2018 warmup. But Democrats can't expand their power if they aren't even on the ballot.

about politics. They only pay attention during presidential races and the real battle is on the state level. I hope that the Democrats find candidates to run.
