www.fairfaxdemocrats.org: FCDC Chair Responds to FCRC Promoting New Crop of Candidates

June 11, 2009
The Fairfax County Republican Committee recently issued a press release trumpeting their latest crop of candidates.  Here is FCDC?s analysis. First, if the Republicans are going to challenge our candidates, they ought to first get their facts straight. There are 17 House of Delegate districts with precincts in Fairfax County, not 16. This list leaves out the 49th (also, they don?t have a candidate in the 37th). One of their three remaining Delegates, Tom Rust, actually represents the 86...

Waldo Jaquith: The legislature?s most prolific copatrons.

June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly. It really is a powerful tool. (To see one of the ways I?m using it on Richmond Sunlight now, check out HB1721 , SB1436 , or HB2482 , where you can see a graph indicating the average partisan position of each bill?s cosponsors.) Here?s a less thoughtful usage of this data, but no less interesting: a listi...

ricksincerethoughts.blogspot.com: The ABCs of Virginia's ABC

June 8, 2009
Thanks to a link on the Old Dominion Liberty Letter , I discovered this award-winning video that describes how Virginia's alcoholic beverage laws are irrational as well as freedom-eroding: As I noted in a comment on YouTube, this video only skims the surface of how Virginia's alcoholic beverage laws militate against liberty. For instance, did you know that Virginia restaurants are forced to buy their liquor from state-owned retail stores at retail prices? They are not permitted to purch...

too conservative: House of Delegates Q2 Reports

June 2, 2009
This is actually half of Q2, due to the 15-day requirement before the June 9 primary, so the dates covered are between April 1 and May 27, 2009. Like last time, I?ve included races in Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Loudoun, and PWC. Much, much more below the fold. Total raised is taken from total receipts, which includes contributions, in-kind, and loans. Candidate: Q2 Raised  | Cash on Hand | # of Individual Donors Fairfax Districts: HD 34 Margi Vanderhye (i): $61K | $9...

too conservative: Meanwhile, in Fairfax County?

April 23, 2009
I thought I?d counter the troubling news coming out of Augusta with good news to report here in Fairfax. Coming off of 2007, a year when Republicans had only seven Delegate candidates and only one serious challenger to an incumbent, Chairman Anthony Bedell and the FCRC have raised candidates so far in 12 of 14 districts that are mostly or all in Fairfax: HD 34 (Vanderhye): Barbara Comstock HD 35 (Open): Jim Hyland HD 36 (Plum): Mark Whited HD 38 (Hull): Danny Smith HD 39 (Watts): Joe...
