Democrats To Go

Canvass for Mavis Taintor on Saturday, Aug. 10
2019-08-10 10:00 - 13:00 UTC | Mavis Taintor HQ, 16409 Hamilton Station Rd., Waterford, VA, 20197, United States
Democrats to Go is proud to be heading to Loudoun County on Saturday, Aug. 10 to support Mavis Taintor, the Democrat running to flip the House of Delegates 33rd District.
Mavis broke the glass ceiling while pursuing a highly successful career in the financial industry, serving as founder and co-CEO of Callidus Capital Management. She also had a career in farming, taught as a Head Start teacher, and lectured at the university level.
She holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the State University of New York at Buffalo, as well as a BA from Cornell University and an MBA from New York University. In her home of Loudoun County, she is an active member of the community and serves on the Board of Directors of Phoenix House Mid-Atlantic. With this organization, she helps provide residential services for people suffering from opioid and addiction problems, an issue that holds personal significance to her.
When the healthcare system in Virginia failed her son over and over again, resulting in his death from depression and addiction, Mavis once again made it her mission to make things happen. It was a call to service, and she has answered with dedication.
Let’s get out and help Mavis win the 33rd!
We’ll meet at 10 a.m. in Waterford, Va. (just west of Leesburg).

Join Josh Cole's "Kickoff" Canvass on July 20
2019-07-20 09:30 - 12:30 | 618 Kenmore Ave., Fredericksburg, Va. 22401, 618 Kenmore Ave., Fredericksburg, VA, 22401, United States
Democrats To Go is headed to Fredericksburg on July 20 as part of Josh Cole’s “2019 Season Kickoff” canvass — join us!
Josh fell 82 votes short of claiming the 28th District House of Delegates seat in a 2017 race that featured voters who were given the wrong ballot and absentee ballots that weren’t counted.
This year, he’ll face Paul Milde, who defeated incumbent Bob Thomas in a June primary. Thomas was one of three Republicans who voted to expand Medicaid earlier this year, and Milde made it a campaign issue in the primary. So that’s what Josh is up against.
The canvass launches at 9:30 am from 618 Kenmore Ave. in Fredericksburg.

Canvass for John Bell and Wendy Gooditis on June 30
2019-06-30 14:00 - 18:00 | Rust Library, 380 Old Waterford Rd NW, Leesburg, VA, 20176

Democrats To Go is supporting State Senate candidate John Bell and House of Delegates member Wendy Gooditis in two dual canvasses in late June.
We’ll launch from Rust Library in Leesburg at 2 p.m.
John currently holds the House of Delegates seat in District 87, but is now running to flip the Senate’s 13th District, where incumbent Republican Dick Black has decided not to run.
Read more about John on his campaign website.
Wendy is running against Republican Randy Minchew, who lost the seat to Wendy in 2017.
Wendy ran for office after co-founding an Indivisible group in predominantly Republican Clarke County. In the 2019 General Assembly session, nine bills Wendy introduced were either killed by the GOP on party-line votes or not given a hearing — a clear indication that Republicans are targeting her this fall.
