Robin Abbott’s event this afternoon was a blockbuster success!

About 75-100 people were in attendance to hear Robin talk about personal story and the need to break the logjam in Richmond by the GnOP failed leadership of the House.

Due to Phil Hamilton’s traffic jams on I-64, Senator Warner was a bit late but talked of how he wished to have had Robin as a Delegate during his term as governor to move on items obstructed by Hamilton’s right wing cronies. He tool some time to discuss his impressions on his first few months in DC. Steve Shannon could not get there on time because of the aforementioned Phil Hamilton traffic jams and Jody Wagner arrived about quitting time at she had a wonderful time on the parking lot that was formerly know as Interstate 64. (to rub salt in the wound, traffic was at a crawl heading back east)

I hope the size of the checks written were large as Law Partner Len Bennett pledged to match each contribution dollar for dollar!

We WILL win this seat.

i remember working the polls one day in old town Alexandria a over a decade and a half ago. I think it was around the time when Mark Warner was head of the Dem party of VA.
It was interesting when he walked in there were TV cameras to record his every move when he showed up to vote.
They must have known that Mark was/is a very ambitious young man. VA Governor, now US Senator – President of US somewhere down the line..
I happened to be the one that helped with get situated with the machine that day as documented on TV – wish some of that winning streak rubbed off on me lol!
