From a FB Group

"There are 9 districts that 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 72 (Henrico 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."

I am trying to get more information about what is going on. If anyone has heard anything about this situation, please share. Obviously, that would be awful if democratic candidates were not to be found.

Howard Dean had the right approach - candidates in every House district.
Who is the Dem. leader who will bring us back to that position?
