Draft Team Saddened by the Death of Alan Senitt

Draft Mark Warner is very saddened to hear about the Sunday night murder of Alan Senitt, a 27-year old intern with Governor Warner's Forward Together PAC. This terrible tragedy occured in the Georgetown area of Washington, DC. Forward Together is located in nearby Alexandria, Virginia.

From a Yahoo news report, we learned that Alan just came to work at Forward Together from England on June 19th. He was a promising young man with a bright future in politics. He was very involved politically, having worked for a member of the British House of Lords in Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor Party.

According to Ellen Quails, a spokeswoman for Gov. Warner, Senitt joined Warner's PAC, Forward Together, as one of about 20 unpaid interns and wanted to work on the finance team and learn fundraising and donor relations.

Although members of the Draft team do not know all of Gov. Warner's staff and interns, we have been building relationships with anxious young Warner supporters now for nearly two years. We would have relished the opportunity to get to know Alan and work with him on a future Warner campaign.

Our hearts and prayers goes out to Alan's family, friends, and co-workers.

Our thoughts are also with the members of Forward Together that got to know Alan in the brief time he was with the organization.
