Nov 2017

I live in Henrico County - HD73 - Democratic challenger Debra Rodman defeated a longtime repub incumbent! The VA house of delegates races are astonishing- even the most pie in the sky predictions were for 6-8. So far tonight, Dems have flipped 14! There are 4-5 races that are too close to call & may need recounts- that there's even a possibility of taking the HD is stunning 😀

Next year, we're coming for Dave Brat!
