Virginia Democratic Party Chooses Primary

Virginia Democratic Party Opts for a Primary to Select Nominee for Governor in 2013

Yesterday in Fredericksburg, Virginia, the Central Committee of the Democratic Party of Virginia voted, with some minor opposition, to hold a Primary in June of next year to select a nominee for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General.

I am extremely happy that our party has chosen to hold a primary for these constitutional offices in the Commonwealth.  I believe that a primary is the most democratic way to choose our party slate for 2013, and I look forward to engaging in a vigorous debate with those who also will be running in the primary for the nomination for Governor of the Commonwealth.
