She can’t do that yet because the new districts have not been officially drawn by the VA General Assembly. The Virginia redistricting amendment has not yet passed. FWIW, I’m not 100% convinced that it is going to pass.
But, if it does and Olivia gets elected, she has the wisdom and compassion to make an outstanding Congresswoman. Her mom must be so proud of her.
She is. I lived in the Rio Grande valley for awhile - I just take it for granted that since she was raised from Mexican roots and educated there, she does. I was the only one of around a dozen in my workplace who was not.
Thanks, David. That makes sense. But she should still tell her would-be supporters that she'll be running in Virginia, if the redistricting works out. That's just transparency, which I assume she believes in. --Rob
Dear Rob Leflar, Ms. Troye has previously announced that she is running for a federal congressional seat from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Most of her posts mentioning her candidacy have included this info. It was simply an omission that the info wasn't in this post.
Thanks, Amy. But I fear that you are incorrect. None of her recent posts asking for money mentions Virginia at all. I think the omission is deliberate -- aiming for nationwide contributions -- and as a potential supporter, this worries me. More transparency is needed.
Asking isn’t unreasonable, particularly as Olivia strives to broaden her base of support. Those of us who are new to her and/or her candidacy appreciate the opportunity to learn more. Perhaps I misread your meaning re, “Try to keep up,” but it seemed more like an insult than encouraging support for Olivia. Were I Olivia, I’d be grateful for an informed supporter such as yourself who is willing to acquaint others with me and my campaign.
My father was educated as a lawyer and after WWII was in Germany writing the treaties that would begin to structure the post WWII world. I was in a basket, weeks old. My mother would order the weeks groceries from the commissary. Only half would arrive. As an adult I asked her what she then did. I doubled the order, she replied. Cigarettes and chocolate were currencies.
My father would go on to serve in two other admins. Policy not politics.
Donald Trump has no idea what he is destroying. He is utterly unfit. The whole idea of service is alien to him. Good luck. Just keep telling the truth.
Thanks Olivia: Your mother was one for the ages. strong willed, intelligent and a fighter for equal rights. You are the spitting image , you go girls , get out there and light up the planet with your quiet defiance. Where are you running.??
Thanks for the clarification. I'm a big fan of both of you and it really threw me for a loop when I saw there were not only the two of you, but ten others registered to run in the Democratic primary for VA-07.
Why must the incumbent Democrat VA-07 representative Eugene Vindman be replaced? He has an equally compelling back story and I thought he has been doing a good job. Please explain. This appears to be a waste of resources better spent replacing Republicans elsewhere.
Hi! I am running for the new district 7. It’s a completely open seat. Vindman will be in another district once this passes on Tuesday here in Virginia.
Still no indication of what state and district you're running in. I'd suggest that you fix that.

Rob,
She can’t do that yet because the new districts have not been officially drawn by the VA General Assembly. The Virginia redistricting amendment has not yet passed. FWIW, I’m not 100% convinced that it is going to pass.

Completely agree. She has courage, experience and integrity. I’d vote for her without a second thought and campaign for her, as well.
Well said, Cherae. And she’s also bilingual.
She is. I lived in the Rio Grande valley for awhile - I just take it for granted that since she was raised from Mexican roots and educated there, she does. I was the only one of around a dozen in my workplace who was not.

She actually has, Rob, just not specifically where for the reason I laid out.

Ok, sorry. That was unnecessary
Apologize
Thank you, Mike. You made my day.

You have quiet dignity plus experience intelligence ad luck. And beauty.

I wish I could rubber stamp you in! 🇺🇲
Thanks Olivia! I know that you CAN do this. : ) <3

Yeah, I got that, given your background how could you have worked for the orange thing ?
