Historic Triangle Democrats

Historic Triangle Democrats Working to elect Democrats in Williamsburg, James City, York, and Poquoson. We fundraise, campaign and get out the vote.

We're the local Democratic committee serving James City and York counties and the cities of Williamsburg and Poquoson. We host speakers and candidate forums, write postcards, make phone calls and connect with our neighbors. And in the process of electing Dems and making government more responsive and more representative, we have a lot of fun.

WTF, Rob? The latest installment of Wittman Watch gets it exactly right…the 1st Congressional District just can’t afford Rob Wittman:

“Inflation is up. Wages are down. SNAP rolls in Virginia have shrunk by tens of thousands. The Federal Reserve is no longer expected to cut rates this year, which means credit card balances, mortgages, and car loan rates will keep rising. The price of everything is spiking.

Rob Wittman cast votes for every single one of these outcomes. Then he tells you that the bill that caused them was for the benefit of working families.

The next time you hear him use that phrase, ask which working family. Ask whose grocery bill. Ask whose Medicaid. Then call his DC, Glen Allen, or Yorktown office, show up at his next mobile office hours, and remind him whose district this is. Because Virginia’s First District cannot afford Rob Wittman.”

The FCC is considering changes that could place warning labels on any TV content featuring transgender and nonbinary folks and discussions of gender identity.

Public comments help shape the record and give everyday Virginians like us a chance to speak up. If you believe stories, identities, and representation deserve respect rather than warning labels, now is the time to make your voice heard.

Take a few minutes to submit a comment. Every submission matters ⬇️
