In
January we sent some new faces to Congress.
Senator-Elect Mark Warner had scored a resounding victory in November
becoming the top vote getter in Virginia history. Additionally,
we will now hold the majority in Virginia's congressional delegation
by adding Congressmen-Elect Gerry Connolly, Glenn Nye, and Tom Perriello. We gained the majority by knocking off two incumbent
Republicans and winning the open seat of retiring Congressman Tom
Davis.
The James
City County Democratic Committee focuses on identifying and supporting
Democratic candidates for local office and the Virginia Legislature.
We have good speakers at our meetings on topics such as politics, the
health care crisis, and the rampant growth in James City County.

Day of Caring Crew
The
committee's Day of Caring volunteers, recruited by Mike Ludwick,
included Willie Brown, Troy Farlow, Jim Icenhour, Clay Henson, Jane
Nichols, John Nichols, Emily Pease, and Linda Rice. The project was
delivering meals with Meals on Wheels, which serves not just the poor,
but also those more affluent who are alone and housebound. If you are
interested in volunteering with Meals on Wheels, please call 757-229-
9250. They can use the help and it takes just a few hours or so a
month.
