Contact the Tazewell County Democratic Committee for more information.

Coming off two strong special election victories (3rd and 23rd Districts), Democrats are gaining some momentum. Even though the Third District was not a pickup like the 23rd District, it was a district that went for Kilgore and some considered in play.

Ben thinks this momentum comes down to the Kaine campaign’s strong Get Out the Vote organization and the Republicans lack thereof. I know my experience with the call lists here in Dickenson County was phenomenal. The calls they had us making were very well targeted and effective.

Third District Del. Dan Bowling, Southwest Virginia’s only new guy in town, was assigned to the Militia, Police, and Public Safety and Transportation committees.
