Vangie Williams for Congress - Virginia 1st district. Opportunity to be 1st black woman to rep VA

...heard her one one of the progressive talk shows that I listen to. She won the democratic primary and will be running in Nov against a GOP'er.

She has opportunity to be the 1st Black female to hold congressional office in Virginia. Her family has lived in Virginia for over 300 years. She has 6 children (girls) ages 11 to 23. She is running campaign with small donations from the ppl, no corporate financing.

If you can donate, please do.

That was such a funny scene! I'd heard of "Drag Race" online, but my son finally convinced me to watch it. We've seen just a few episodes, and THIS one was one of them. Too funny!

I enjoyed reading about her. She is one of the most interesting candidates I've read about, with all of those amazing projects she's worked on.

From her Gun Reform link "I speak to the silent majority of responsible gun owners who are justified in their fear of a gun grab."

That type of language plays to the gun nuts paranoias.
