Candidate Forum to be held on October 12

October 6, 2015

Our friends at the Suburban Acres Civic League have extended the below invitation to their candidates forum:

Folks, I wanted to let our neighboring civic leagues know about our campaign forum this Monday evening October 12th (Columbus Day).

I haven’t seen much in the way of election info or forums so anticipate there might be some ‘pent up demand’.

We will have as our guests both candidates for the 100th District House of Delegates race, Delegate Robert Bloxom Jr. (R) and Willie Randall (D), as well as candidates for the 6th Senate District, Senator Lynwood Lewis (D) and challenger Richard Ottinger (R).

We are also having our fall “Crock Pot Cook-off” so please invite folks to bring a snack to share, or a crock pot dish to compete for prizes.

Due to the cook-off, and a flu-shot clinic by Farm Fresh Pharmacy, we have a special doors-open time of 5:30 pm instead of our normal 6 pm.  The meeting and forum begins at 6:30 pm.

We meet at Suburban Park Elementary School, 310 Thole Street.

Thanks,

KEVIN


In support of Paula Miller; Vote this Saturday, 11/16/13 10am-2pm @ Granby High

November 12, 2013

It seems as though we are never out of election season here in Norfolk.  When Ralph Northam was elected Lieutenant Governor last week his seat in the Virginia Senate was opened up.  A special election will be held but has not yet been scheduled.

The Democratic Party will be holding a caucus this Saturday, November 16, between 10am and 2pm at Granby High School.  Supporters need only show up, vote, and leave.  The Democratic candidates are: Paula MillerAndria McClellan, and Lynwood Lewis.

paula-miller-150hWhile all three of the Democratic candidates are smart, capable, and would do well in Richmond, Paula Miller would do best for Wards Corner.  Paula has been involved in the effort to revitalize Wards Corner for years.  I have met with her on many occasions where we would exchange ideas and discuss progress with our revitalization efforts.  Not only does Paula live a few miles from Wards Corner, but she often shops here as well.  I am supporting Paula Miller and I encourage you to show up this Saturday at  Granby High and support her as well.

On the Republican side, there will be a canvass held from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 21st, 2013 at the Masonic Temple.  The Republican candidates are: John Coggeshall, Wayne Coleman, and Richard Ottinger.
