Great article in the Virginian-Pilot today, picked up by BlueVirginia.us, run by Daily Kos user lowkell, which is where I read the article.
Virginia Beach Democrat hauls in money from all 50 states in bid to take Scott Taylor's House of Delegates seat
Very nice article here ^^ be sure to read.
My sources on the ground in VA politics, got a call from the authors of this article. There was some question about where all these donations of less than $100 were coming from. Were nefarious forces at work?
Well, yeah, sort of. Daily Kos was at work. My source took them to our site, and showed them all the pieces about Cheryl Turpin and the upcoming Special Election January 10th, 2017. Especially this one by David Nir.
When the authors saw over 3500 donations totaling over $55,000, from all over the country, all through OUR website, they understood the power of Daily Kos. They understood why Dr. Ferguson Reid of 90for90 said we could be a “formidable force”.
My hope is that we can do the same thing for Ryant Washington as well.
House of Delegates District 85
