I think we’re at 4 candidates in HD 17…

I count 3 Dem candidates in HD 17 - so far.

So right. Voters don’t fall in love with a party, they vote for its candidates. And reserve the option to change their votes at the next election.

As always, the question is whether there is any day when Virginians somewhere are NOT voting 😁 Admittedly, there are a few, but they are rare.

The proposed VA constitutional amendment allows for redistricting if a single other state does it (unless they do it under a court order). Doesn’t specify which political party is driving it. Given what VA leaders have said, they are going ahead.

There are a lot of other Democrats in the primary, but from what you’re saying, Osyf was much stronger than the others. Is that right?

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that. It certainly applies in most places I canvass.

This campaign had the best coordination I’ve seen at the top and with the delegate candidates. I always canvassed for the entire ticket.

And if Mike Jones — or any office-holder — wins, then THEY need to be replaced. More voting for us!

A Spanish speaking voter I canvassed was impressed by Spanberger’s Spanish language ad. Said she did it well.

The anti-Jones ads during football games broadcast in Hampton Roads may have gone too far and eventually helped him. I understand that they were ubiquitous.

I’m thinking the campaign in the special was more focused on high propensity Democrats than the 11/5 general, knowing the turnout would be smaller. So fun to compare 11/5 with 1/7, but that’s about it. Of course, we needed cold weather canvassers to make it work for 1/7/25!

Thank you!
