Lindsey Dougherty – 62nd HOD:

Lindsey Dougherty won the Democratic nomination in the June 11 Primary to run in the 62nd Virginia House of Delegates race. This seat has been held by Riley Ingram for decades.

If you missed this calling out of Morrissey’s  mis-characterization of Senator Rosalyn Dance’s record on medicaid expansion read it by clicking the link below.  No other challenger should even attempt the same underhanded tactic.

It is a long read.  Grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine and savor it.

Schapiro’s headline that the stakes are low doesn’t strike true with this Prince Georgian. True Prince George doesn’t have much presence in the 16th VA Senate District (about 7 or 8%), but that seat has a profound influence on the County.  Read Schaprio’s column and draw your own conclusions.

See you at the PG Dems meeting on Thursday, April 2 at 5:30 p.m. in the PG Social Services Building (1st Floor), 6450 Administration Drive, Prince George Government Complex, BLDG #12.   We now have a request from Atiba Muse, candidate for nomination in the 63rd VA House District to be on the Agenda.  The Chair, Cynthia Mitchell, will designate a time limit for candidates on the Agenda to speak.

The 16th VA Senate Democratic primary race took an interesting turn with the announcement that latecomers to the race, Joe Morrissey and Derik Jones didn’t collect the required number of valid signatures to run as Democrats in the Democratic Primary on June 9.

The !6th has only a small footprint in Prince George County.  Courts is the only precinct totally in the 16th, while there are portions of Jefferson Park and Rives precincts included.

There is more behind this story from a local perspective, but there are so many threats of legal suit, that we will leave that back story out of this post to protect the innocent.

Morrissey, Derik Jones fail to qualify for Democratic primary – Richmond.com: Virginia News And Politics.

See all at the PG Dems meeting on Thursday, April 2 at the Prince George Social Services (Human Services) Building.  You may want to take notes. Note meeting begins at 5:30 p.m.
