Below is a message from VAYD Campaign Director Sarah Buckley. Please come out and support Kai Degner this weekend, and send a message to Virginia Republicans!
Who is Virginia's best shot to pick up a HOD seat in the deep-red Valley? Kai Degner. Mayor of Harrisonburg and a Young Democrat himself, Kai is running in a three-way special election against Republican Tony Wilt and conservative/Tea Party candidate Carolyn Frank. The election is next Tuesday, June 15, and YOU can help by joining VAYD in Harrisonburg to get out the vote this Saturday, June 12 at noon. Kai has recently gained some momentum as his opponent, Tony Wilt, has caught heat for his ties to the oil and gas industry and a controversial natural gas drilling process called "fracing", which he has kept under wraps until recently. You can read more of the story at Blue Virginia by clicking here. The oil washing up on the shore of the gulf is a reminder that we don't need a Delegate that would push forward risky energy projects because of a personal financial interest. Help VAYD send that message and get Kai elected this Saturday! To RSVP and get more details, check out our event on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=127250087299142&ref=mf).
