Our March 2024 meeting of the Hanover Democratic Committee will feature an update on actions in this year’s General Assembly.…
Every American is standing on tip-toes, no matter what your view. First, let us remember America was built on diversification, supposedly different people, different ideas coming together for one common goal: the betterment of all involved.
A democracy can’t survive without citizens stepping up to run for public office, so TAN is deeply grateful for all the wonderful candidates who ran in the primary election. Whether our preferred candidate won or not, TAN readers understand we must get behind general election candidates to oust MAGA lackey congressmen Rob Wittman and John McGuire. Hanover has a great ticket to work for: Senator Mark Warner for reelection, Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor for Congress from CD 1 and former congressman Tom Periello for CD 5.
A. Canvass
You can now knock doors in Hanover for the coordinated Senate and House candidates. You will only be sent to homes that are likely Democratic, so it is the best way to turn out the vote. Remember, when we vote, we win!
