Northumberland County Democrats

In the June 13 primary election, Francis Edwards won the Democratic nomination for the 99th District Virginia House of Delegates seat.  Edwards will face incumbent Republican Margaret Ransone in November.

Edwards received 1,827 votes to fellow Democrat Vivian Messner’s 1,551.

Edwards released the following statement on election night:

Thanks to your votes and hard work, I am now honored and humbled to be your Democratic nominee for the House of Delegates in the 99th District!

I am fired up and ready for the task ahead.  In her last election, only 3.3 out of 10 people voted for the incumbent. Yes, you read that correctly only 3.3 out of 10! Today 6 out of 10 want a change in representation, and Tuesday’s turnout was a sure indication that the Northern Neck is ready for a new delegate in Richmond! I am confident that we have a campaign strategy that will bring us victory.

 I will show up, stand up and work for you, but I can’t do it alone.  I need your help and am asking for your volunteer efforts as we work for a win in November.  Part of the reason for our success last night was due to Primary Day efforts by a number of volunteers working at the polls.  In the days ahead we will be asking for your help in phone banking and going door to door in your neighborhood to help turn out the vote for a November victory.

HUGE defeat for Trump.  Congress set to pass funding bill that keeps government open through September.  The bill provides money for Planned Parenthood, 100% funding for EPA — NOT ONE PENNY FOR THE “BORDER WALL.”  Read all about it here and here.

Imagine if Hillary Clinton had done this.

Hillary Clinton is president. It’s learned that she has deep ties to Putin and the Russian spy agency. She puts utterly unqualified billionaires in cabinet posts. She pursues public policies that benefit her and her billionaire friends. She puts her daughter Chelsea in a position of influence in the West Wing, gives her her own office and allows her to use that position to forward her own business interests. And — Chelsea’s husband is Hillary’s chief advisor. The private business trips taken by Chelsea and her husband are paid for by the taxpayers.

She refuses to release any tax returns, she blocks access to the visitor logs in the White House and Bill refuses to live in the White House so our tax dollars are spent keeping him safe in Chappaqua. Hillary spends almost every weekend lounging in her own, privately-held resort. Her private resort gets reimbursed for all “official” government functions (including security) because she chooses to conduct all her “business” and personal functions there. She and her family live in three White Houses at the same time.

In an interview, she names the wrong country she bombed while bragging about the chocolate cake she was eating while she ordered said bombing. I could go on and on.

If Hillary Clinton were president and if she had done any of the above, the outrage, the outcries, the screaming by Republicans would be heard around the world and impeachment proceedings would already be underway.  Yet, Donald Trump has done everything listed above and we hear not a peep out of Republicans.
