Since you last heard from us, the UVA CRs campaign machine has been in full motion! With just sixteen days left until election day, the Hoos are fighting their hardest to ensure that we hold our majorities this November.
Updates
Call Nights
We've had three call nights in the last two weeks that have been well attended by our eager volunteers. In addition to our two weekly call nights, when we made calls for our General Assembly candidates, we also held one on Wednesday night to help out one of our local candidates, Steve Harvey. Harvey, who is running for the White Hall seat on the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors, brought pizza and made calls with us. The Hoos proved that we understand the importance of electing Republicans at all levels!
Deployment for Delegate Bell
Last Sunday, we deployed to Elkton, VA to knock doors for Delegate Rob Bell. Several cars of volunteers, many of whom had never campaigned before, headed to the area to remind voters of the upcoming election. Delegate Bell expressed his appreciation by hosting a pizza party at his house. Needless to say, everyone had a great time and can't wait to see what all Delegate Bell will accomplish as he continues to serve in the House of Delegates!
Constitution
Thursday, we devoted our meeting to amending our chapter's constitution. Among the many amendments, one of the most prominent was the formal creation of the Outreach Coordinator position. This position, which has proven vital in our efforts to connect with more students on Grounds and members of the community, is now officially part of the club's Executive Board and will be able to continue to provide invaluable service to our organization as such.
Upcoming Events
Call Night
As usual, we'll be hosting our weekly call night tomorrow night. This one is unique, however, as we'll be co-hosting it with Hoos for Life, the premier pro-life organization on Grounds at UVA. Accordingly, we'll be making calls for pro-life candidates, including Jen Kiggans and Geary Higgins (both state Senate candidates).
Tidewater Deployment
This weekend, CRFV will be holding its third and final deployment in the Tidewater area for Jen Kiggans for state Senate and Chris Stolle for House of Delegates. If the first two deployments were any indication of the momentum that the CRs across this Commonwealth have for holding our majorities, then this one should drive the point home!
That's all we have for you now. Thank you for your continued support of UVA CRs!
