Jeanette Rishell wins Manasass Park City Council race by a landslide! And "props" to Dave Butler on re-election and Mayor Kirsten Umstattd on re-election in the Leesburg town council.  

And to Kristin Cabral, we are so proud of you and your efforts!!

Reflections on the Election from our Chair, Charlie Jackson.  "No one should be surprised at Tuesday's results. President Obama's campaign has put together the most sophisticated ground operation in the history of American politics. I'm proud that the 10th District Committee played a small role in that with our field operation that knocked on more than 13,000 doors identifying thousands of Democrats in this transient district that we had not talked to before

Our victories on Tuesday in Virginia belong to everyone who manned a polling station, knocked on a door, worked a shift at a phone bank or convinced their friends and neighbors to vote. 

Republicans went into Tuesday hoping that certain communities — young people, women and minorities — wouldn't turn out to vote at the rate they did in 2008. Well, it turns out Democrats were quite motivated. I'm not sure the ideas of self-deportation, legitimate rape, here in Virginia trans-vaginal ultrasounds, or voter suppression efforts are good ways to appeal to voters. In fact, I believe the GOP's shift to the far right proved quite motivating for Democrats and independents across the country. "

President Obama and President Clinton in NOVA tonight.  Not those great 10th Cd Dems with front row seats, Clara and John Meagher.

There is a first time for everything and this publication is endorsing it's first ever candidate for office. This endorsement has much more meaning and significance than the simple fact that it is our first.

It's been this publication's intent to provide true fair and balanced coverage, without regards to any political affiliations. We believe that while Congressman Wolf has done some very good things over the past 32 years that he has spent in Congress, it's time for new leadership to fight for us in the House of Representatives.

It's clear to us that it's time to pass the torch forward, to a very well qualified candidate, who has the energy and fight inside of her to truly make a positive difference representing the 10th Congressional District in Congress.

It's time. The choice is a clear one for those who have had the ability to spend some time with each of the candidates over the past couple months and while she may still be very much an underdog, The Clarke Citizen-Gazette is proud to support Kristin Cabral for Congress.

There is little doubt in our minds, that she embraces the unconventional. Cabral has demonstrated her willingness to buck her party's establishment in the best interest of taking positions on issues that are of importance to a lot of her possible constituents in the district.

Cabral has all the “good” needed to be considered a formidable challenger, which we believe she has become. Her Harvard Law School degree and experience working within the Department of Justice is quite impressive. The fact that Cabral lauds her PTA mom creditials more than she talks about her Harvard Law Degree tells us more about who she truly is at heart.

It's time for new leadership for the 10th COngressional District. The clear choice for this seat isn't the 32 year incumbent congressman. It's the passionate and fearless fighter we have gotten to know over the past couple months, named Kristin Cabral.

The future is now and Cabral is the candidate that is much more prepared to lead us, looking towards a brighter future that doesn't appear to have Frank Wolf a part of it for too much longer, regardless of this result. That is another reason why we believe a candidate of Cabral's caliber should not go ignored.

We haven't ignored everything she brings to the table and urge voters to look at the bigger picture here, which will not include Frank Wolf for too much longer. He's rumored to be seriously considering retirement within the next four years, if he remains in office for reasons that cannot to fully justified to us.

The choice is clear. It's time to recognized that our future resides in candidates like Kristin Cabral, while we acknowledge Wolf's contributions to all of the localities he has represented over the past 32 years.

It has been rank-in-file establishment career politicians who have produced such gridlock in Congress. Our COngressman has been contributing to worsening such gridlock, while demonstrating both in office and during this campaign, that his stubborn unwillingness to compromise is a trait that his constituents need to pass on this time around at the polls.
