Join our final push to Election Day

We have come to the conclusion of yet another campaign. We don't need to remind you how Virginia has regressed during the last four years of GOP rule in areas such as education, health care and democracy. We cannot keep a bad thing going! Nov. 4 is Election Day from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., if you have not already voted. There are some things we can do in the run-up to that time.

Renew your membership for 2026-2027

We are processing membership renewals for the 2026-2027 cycle that begins in January. Remember, according to the party plan, all local Democratic committees in Virginia reorganize every two years. That means all members must reapply for membership and pay dues anew, and new elections will be held for officer positions. Join via our website and follow the dues instructions ($40) after you fill out the application info. You also can print out a membership application from there and send it in by hand or at our Dec. 14 meeting.

For questions and answers, contact Wendy Brooks, vice chair for membership, at wendybrooks82@comcast.net.

No November meeting, but join us anyway

We will not have a Hanover Democratic Committee monthly meeting in November. Our next one will be at 4 p.m. on Dec. 14 at Around the Table, 155 Junction Drive, Ashland. Instead, our Post-Election Celebration and Pre-Election Anticipation will be at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15 at the home of Wendy and Mike Brooks. RSVP to wendybrooks82@comcast.net The committee will provide pizza and drinks and such. Please bring a side dish and snacks to share.

All Democratic and like-minded women are invited to our Hanover Democratic Women's Coffees which are for bringing together Democratic women from all parts of Hanover (and sometimes beyond) for energizing fellowship and for forming strong relationships to help elect Democratic candidates and promote our Democratic ideals locally and nationally. We meet monthly at the homes of different volunteering hostesses and in different parts of the county. We have no formal memberships or dues. Come for great fellowship. We look forward to seeing you.
