Richmond JJ Dinner

On Saturday night, February 11th, Draft supporters gathered in Richmond to promote a Mark Warner 08 candidacy at the Democratic Party's annual JJ Dinner. We booked two tables in the dining room and had an information booth in the lobby.

Bumper stickers, buttons, and fliers went about as fast as we could put them out. We found Virginians anticipating a Warner candidacy and willing to jump right in and help in a future campaign.

We didn't make a big public splash in Richmond because it was Tim Kaine's first statewide meeting of Democrats since his election in November and we didn't want to distract from his night to shine.

We made a lot of new friends, handed out hundreds of pieces of Warner Gear & signed up a bunch of new supporters for the Draft effort.
