Mark Brooks sent me some of the photos he took at last weekend's convention. As always, click to enlarge.
VA Delegation to Denver
The DPVA has released this list of delegates to the National Convention in Denver. It's an interesting list and should be an interesting time for all of us. Not included on the list are the folks who will be attending for other reasons, such as members of the committees (Platform, Rules and Credentials) as well … Continue reading VA Delegation to Denver
Tell me it ain’t so, Howard!
I know I'm supposed to just get over Hillary Clinton being out of the race. And I'm trying. But when I was elected as Clinton delegate to the convention, I thought that I would have at least one more chance to cast a ballot for my candidate.

State convention wrap up

I didn't consider it news; after all, he said essentially that on a press conference call last Monday. Either the press at the convention didn't hear it or they … Continue reading State convention wrap up
Denver-bound!
I'm exhausted but absolutely thrilled to have been elected as an at-large delegate to the Democratic National convention. My journey to become a delegate started about a year ago, when I decided that this was the convention that I wanted to attend. I just wanted to be a witness to history. More on the convention … Continue reading Denver-bound!
