UVA College Republicans Weekly Update, Upcoming Events


Updates

Call Nights


On Monday, we held our first call night of the semester, and although we were already aware of the great number of CRs eager to start campaigning, we were truly blown away by the attendance. Volunteers made calls for Delegate Chris Jones, Ian Lovejoy, and Randy Minchew. As the person who managed all of the call nights on Grounds for Congressman Riggleman's campaign last year, I can tell you that none of last year's attendance numbers were as high - and that was for a congressional race! 




In fact, the call night was such a success that we booked a library room last minute and held another one on Thursday night! Needless to say, there's no shortage of enthusiasm among this chapter for holding our majorities!


Event with Chris Runion


On Thursday, a delegation attended a fundraiser for Chris Runion, our candidate in the 25th House of Delegates district. In addition to hearing from Mr. Runion, we also had the privilege of being addressed by Governor George Allen and RPV Chairwoman Kate Obenshain. Several of our new members attended, and were thrilled to meet Governor Allen for the first time!

Upcoming Events

CRFV Deployment


This upcoming weekend, the College Republican Federation of Virginia (CRFV) is holding its first of three statewide deployments. CRs from across the Commonwealth will gather in Richmond to knock for Senator Glen Sturtevant and Garrison Coward for delegate. Needless to say, we'll be sending a group of eager volunteers!


Weekly Meeting: Danielle D'Souza Gill


This Thursday, we'll be hosting conservative activist Danielle D'Souza Gill at 7PM in Monroe 122, and would love to see you there! Paid parking is available at the UVA Bookstore (only $1/per hour after 5). If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me (email: crt3vm@virginia.edu). See you there!
