Draft Mark Warner Returns to Home Base -- Richmond Rally This Week
Draft Movement to Focus on "Meet-Up" and Names Honorary Chairs

October 9th, 2006--Draft Mark Warner, the Internet-based Political Action Committee supporting Mark Warner for president, is rallying Democrats in Richmond this week and continues its strategy to drive Virginia Democrats to vote in the 2008 election for a potential Mark Warner candidacy. Gov. Warner has not declared but has said he will make that decision after the election.

Past and present prominent Virginia elected officials are lining up to support Gov. Warner's anticipated presidential bid. Richmond businessman and former Delegate R.S. (Major) Reynolds III, State Senator Henry Marsh III, and Delegate Frank Hall have been named Honorary Co-Chairs of the Virginia Draft Mark Warner effort for the greater Richmond Area.

Reynolds and Marsh will be guest speakers Tuesday night at a special "Momentum Building MeetUp," hosted by Draft Mark Warner. This event will be held at the Tobacco Company Restaurant, 12th & Cary Street in Richmond from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm. Hors d'oeuvres will be provided by the Draft organization and there will be a cash bar. Delegate Hall will be the guest speaker at the November Richmond MeetUp to be held at the same location on the second Tuesday of each month.

Similar events have been held in Roanoke and Bristol where former State Senator Madison Mayre serves as Honorary Chair for Southwest Virginia. Additional momentum building efforts are planned for Arlington, Alexandria, Vienna, Loudoun County, and Hampton Roads. Distinguished Co-Chairs will be announced for each area of the state in late October.
