So it appearsI’m confused - why is the “d” small and in quotes?
I’ll bet he doesn’t have a helicopter, though.

WELCOME
I learned a lot about politics as the result of my run for City
Treasurer. This blog is my way of staying in touch with those who supported me and reaching out to those who did not.
The primary focus of this blog is Norfolk politics. Of course, you can't talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so sprinkled in are some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820
I hope you enjoy your visit!

Interesting. I’ve been looking for Democratic candidates for the 81st, but there doesn’t seem to be any on my radar. I haven’t a clue what’s up with the D in small quotes, but it would be interesting to find out.
I noticed that the story BD linked here says that he was at the VBTA candidates’ forum.
I was introduced to another potential candidate last week at Spruill’s event. Haven’t heard anything since then, though.
I saw this guy at the VBTA candidates forum. He has alot of energy and passion, and I am psyched that I get to vote for a democrat in the 81st! I thought for sure I’d have to choose between repub and “repub-light”.
On his site it appears he talks a lot about bipartisan solutions and reaching across party aisles. Maybe thats what the small “d” represents - people before party. I’m not sure, but for a dem to win in the 81st they probably have to think that way!
The fact that it is a small “d” would make me think he’s running without Party support, at least officially. Anyways, I’m still backing Sheriff Lanteigne (can’t vote in the 81st, though, so it doesn’t really matter).
This is what we need in the 81st. Youth and Energy for today’s Virginia!
You would have thought that, with a helicopter, Knight would have an easier time getting to the forum. Apparently not.
Y’know, I couldn’t really decide which city to register my helicopter in, either. It’s a tough choice.
Oh, wait, I don’t have a helicopter.
