Nelson County Supervisor and Virginia 59th House of Delegates Candidate Connie Brennan
Albemarle County Democrats are happy to announce that Connie Brennan accepted the nomination of the Democratic Party in Virginia’s 59th House of Delegates District yesterday, following Jasper Hendricks’ announcement that he would withdraw from the race. She told her supporters on facebook about the development last night:
Tonight, I am excited to tell you that I accepted the Democratic nomination for the 59th House of Delegates seat being vacated by the retirement of Watkins Abbitt. Carter Elliott, the chair of the 59th House of Delegates, attended a campaign event, Conversations with Connie, which had been previously scheduled in Rustburg, and made the announcement that Jasper Hendricks III had withdrawn from the race for the Democratic nomination. The Democratic caucus for August 9th has been cancelled.
Jasper is a fine young man who has represented our party and his community with enthusiasm, integrity and commitment. I want to thank him and wish him every success in his future endeavors.
Now, we begin our general election campaign to win this seat for the hard-working members of the 59th. I promise you that I will represent you and support the issues important to our community. Currently, government is working very well for the powerful and privileged, but I want to ensure that it works for all of us.
I will be a strong advocate for jobs and for the return of economic prosperity to the members of our community. I will champion our students and our schools to ensure that all children receive an excellent education. I will fight to protect our seniors from the attacks on their livelihoods.
In order to successfully represent you, I need your support, your ideas, and your input. So I ask you to join me in an effort to return prosperity to all Virginians, by volunteering, by hosting a neighbor-to-neighbor event in your home, or by donating to my campaign.
Success will be ours, together!
Connie
We hope you will join our nominee for a Conversation in Albemarle County this Friday in Esmont, Virginia, as she lays the groundwork to turn the 59th blue in November!
