Kena Shriners Temple is a very tough hall to record and Hugh Roberson did a great job with this video.  There are no stage lights and the acousitics are very challenging. This was a full stage of great Democratic elected officials and candidates and as usual Gerry does a great job of laying out what is in front of us this year.  Please watch.

The U.S. Department of Justice recently approved Virginia’s Congressional redistricting plan.  You may find yourself voting in a different Congressional District this November.  Click here for a map of Fairfax County’s new Congressional Districts.

Many of Fairfax County’s precinct boundaries were changed before last year’s November 2011 elections.  For a listing of the new precincts and their new Congressional Districts, click here.  Not sure which precinct you’re in?  Enter your address on the State Board of Elections website here and click “Districts.”  (NOTE: the new Congressional Districts have not been updated on the SBE website.  To find out which district your precinct is located in, click here.)

FCDC is currently accepting applications for our Summer Intern Program.  High School and College students are encouraged to apply.  These interns help us get organized by contacting voters, improving our contact data, helping with mailers, making campaign buttons, working at events like rallies, parades, fairs, and festivals.  The interns meet elected officials, go on field trips to the US Capitol and pick up good job experience that can pay off when they get out of school.
