Erci and I plan to go hear three (at least) different candidates in May to find out who we are supporting in the Fall elections for US Congress and US Senate from Virginia. So here are a few opportunities we know about:
May 12th – Judy Feder will be speaking at a small fund-raiser at Bruce Roemmelt‘s house (Bull Run Mountain, near us).
May 14th – Harris Miller will be the guest speaker at the regular Sunday Supper Club meeting (Warrenton).
May 22nd – Jim Webb will be the monthly breakfast speaker for Dulles Area Democrats (Herndon).
In case you do not know, all 11 Virginia Congressional representatives are up for re-election, that is districts 8 (Jim Moran), 10 (Frank Wolf), and 11 (Tom Davis) in Northern Virginia. We also have one of our two Senators, George Allen, up for re-election in November.
Facing off against them, according to Politics1.com are:
For US Senate:
George Allen (R) (Incumbent, and likely Republican candidate for President in 2008)
Either Jim Webb or Harris Miller, depending on the June 13 Primary
Gail Parker (Ind. Green)
For the 8th District:
Jim Moran (D) (Incumbent)
Either Mark Ellmore or Tom O’Donoghue, depending on the June 13 Primary
Jim Hurysz (Independent)
For the 10th District:
Frank Wolf (R) (Incumbent)
Judy Feder (D)
Wilbur “Bill” Wood (Libertarian)
For the 11th District:
Tom Davis (R) (Incumbent)
Either Andy Hurst or Ken Longmyer, depending on the June 13 Primary
Ferdinando Greco (Ind. Green)
