National, State, and Local Politics Affecting Virginia Beach

Tomorrow is the big day

By Joel McDonald • Nov 3rd, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Tomorrow is a very big day for politics around the nation, with Virginia Beach being no exception. It’s exciting, and I can’t help feeling that tinge of anxiousness that used to attack and keep me awake on the eve of Christmas. Yeah, it’s that exciting.

It’s been difficult for me to make a choice, let alone publicly endorse, a candidate for every race that will be on the ballot tomorrow. After adding a few very late endorsements this evening, I’m at a stopping point. While I have made decisions in the other races, I’m not impressed to endorse them here. For those I have endorsed, I hope you will take a moment to research and then hopefully vote for them tomorrow. I know it’s late, but I do believe it is worth it.

A major goal for Virginia Beach Progressives is to blog about and participate in the local politics of Virginia Beach. It’s been difficult for me to research our leaders and understand our government, but I’m learning. November 5th and forward will hopefully be a time of getting involved in the regular and ongoing politics of the city, and sharing it here. It is my hope that this blog will become more valuable to me, while becoming valuable to other citizens as well.

The polls open in about six and a half hours. I hope you will go confident in your choices and proud to exercise your right to vote.
