Just got this email from the DPVA.......

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

I remember some no-name got on the ballot last time and hardly spent a penny. Just having a D next to his name got him in the mid-30's%
