PWDC Botches Challenge In 31st HOD District
15 June 2009 | 31st HOD District, PWCDC | 8 Comments
After winning Prince William County for Barack Obama last year, local Democrats were emboldened and began searching far and wide for candidates to run for the General Assembly in 2009. And the results? Democrats recruited challenges to Delegates Jackson Miller (the usual Jeanette Rishell, a 2-time loser) and Bob Marshall (an opponent not […]

Dems Disclose PWC Lineup
14 February 2009 | PWCDC | 22 Comments
Gainesville Times reporter Dan Roem came up with an interesting interview with PWCDC Chairman Peter Frisbee regarding the upcoming local races for seats in the House of Delegates, focusing predictably on the candidates that the local Democrats are ponying up. The list is as fascinating for who isn’t on it as well as who is. […]

PWCDC Smearing Democrats On Blogs?
27 January 2008 | PWCDC, Blogs, Humor & Satire | 16 Comments
Although the source here has absolutely no credibility whatsoever, being little more than a psychopath nutball himself, Manes Pierre’s recent letter to the editor seems to suggest that PWCDC Committee Chairman Peter Frisbie has been conducting character assassinations of competing interests in the Democratic Party using blogs. It would be interesting to see if there’s […]

Friedman Shares A Roadmap
9 December 2007 | PWCDC | 31 Comments
Gary Friedman has an interesting letter to the editor in today’s MJM that gives county Democrats a partial roadmap back into political relevance in the county which follows a pretty honest assessment of what happened in the last election cycle. It would not surprise me one bit that county Democrats decide to ignore this free […]

New Yorkers To Rescue Colgan Campaign
1 November 2007 | PWCDC, 29th VA Senate | 31 Comments
Last year, Jeanette Rishell had to bring in a field director from New Hampshire during the last few months of her campaign in order to help out her campaign. This year, Riley is reporting that Senator Chuck Colgan finds the local pickings so meager that he has had to hire folks from Maryland and New […]

Dems Get A Choice In Woodbridge
8 June 2007 | PWCDC, Prince William County | 6 Comments
Yes, Woodbridge Democrats, you get a primary, too. There’s Hilda Barg’s anointed successor Frank Principi. Then there’s George Delimba, a former PWCDC Chair much reviled for what he did to the local party when masquerading as it’s leader. The race between Frank Principi and George Delimba can pretty much be summed up in the […]

51st District Rumble
25 May 2007 | PWCDC, 51st HOD District | 8 Comments
I’ve heard that there is quite a bit of excitement within the ranks of Prince William County Democrats these days, although not the kind of excitement I think they’d really want. Half of Jeff Dion’s “kitchen cabinet” is telling Jeff to withdraw his candidacy. Paul Nichols, his opponent for the Democratic nomination in […]
Dem 51st Convention Announced
16 May 2007 | PWCDC, 51st HOD District | 7 Comments
The Prince William County Democratic Committee has issued it’s own call for a convention for the 51st District to be held on June 2nd. Candidates must file by May 22nd, and pay a $1,000 filing fee, which is low by PWCDC standards. Delegate forms are due by May 29th. Of note is that the delegate […]

Drunks For Galligan
30 April 2007 | PWCDC, Virginia Senate | 13 Comments
From the looks of their new website, the Prince William County Democratic Committee seems to be focusing on a couple of School Board races and the Greg Galligan primary campaign in the 39th Senate District. In order to attract volunteers to work on these initiatives, it seems they have to resort to some unusual […]
Once Upon A Time In DemocratLand…
1 March 2007 | PWCDC | 5 Comments
The Gainesville Times has an amusing letter to the editor from James Walkinshaw, who is the Gainesville chairman of the PWCDC and Jeff Dion’s former campaign manager. Clearly concerned about public perceptions of disarray and confusion within the county democrats, he stretches long and hard to try to reassure his demoralized fellow travellers and […]

Dems Put Out The Laundry
21 February 2007 | PWCDC | 2 Comments
The Gainesville Times has an explosive article by Dan Roem today which allowed former Chairman Vic Bras and 1st CD Vice-Chair Matt Harrison a chance to air their grievances about the Prince William County Democratic Commitee and the DPVA. It is an utterly fascinating read, and again Dan Roem has done a wonderful job […]

PWCDC Gets Their Iron Lady
3 February 2007 | PWCDC | 5 Comments
I see from Craig Vitter that the Potomac News has reported on the leadership exodus from the Prince William Democratic Committee, albeit with the article leaving more questions than answers. The article reveals that Earnestine Jenkins, wife of Neabsco Supervisor John Jenkins, has assumed leadership of the PWCDC, a move that effectively super-glues the […]

The PWCDC Implosion Continues
1 February 2007 | PWCDC | 3 Comments
The exodus from the Prince William County Democratic Committee continues with the resignation of Jim Alcauskas, chair of the Coles magisterial district. At this point I’m not sure if any additional magisterial district chairs or other members of the steering committee will resign, but the loss of the chairman, 1st CD vice-chair and now […]

Matt Harrison Resigns from PWCDC

Matt Harrison, the campaign manager for Democrat Jeanette Rishell who ran for the 50th House District in 2006, has resigned from the Prince William County Democratic Party and as 1st CD Vice Chairman. This is a pretty significant event for the PWCDC, which brings into focus the internal divisions that have torn the PWCDC […]

Porta To Sit Out?
1 January 2007 | PWCDC, 51st HOD District | Comments Off
I’ve received credible second-hand information that Earnie Porta, Mayor of the Town of Occoquan and most likely Democratic nominee for the 51st HOD is telling people that he does not intend to run for the House of Delegates. This is a surprising development, as there isn’t much in the way of experienced Democratic candidates […]
Is Jeff Dion Short-Staffed?
18 December 2006 | PWCDC, PWCRC | 2 Comments
The recent Republican convention for Occoquan Supervisor which nominated Mike May had 368 delegates. When the Democrats had their caucus for BOCS Chairman and nominated Sharon Pandak, only 257 Democrats attended from the entire county.
Do the Democrats just have a problem getting folks to participate in their nominating activities, or are there just not […]

Official: Dems Nominate Jeff Dion in Occoquan
30 November 2006 | PWCDC | 12 Comments
As expected, Vic Bras has managed to yet again orchestrate a nomination by setting a high candidate filing fee for a Democratic Caucus and establishing a very short timeframe, possibly in violation of the Democrat’s party plan, and has gotten Jeffrey Dion to be the only candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Occoquan Supervisor’s […]

Maybe They Don’t Have a Candidate?
30 November 2006 | PWCDC | 1 Comment
I’ve been watching the website of the Prince William County Democrats today in anticipation of their announcement on candidate filings for the Occoquan Supervisor’s race. Instead of an announcement, they’ve simply taken down the Call for a caucus and removed any reference to running a candidate for the race. I was expecting to […]
