Saturday, October 3rd through Sunday, October 4th, American University's College Democrats sponsored an overnight trip to Virginia Beach with the attempt to keep Virginia blue. The students stayed in donated hotel rooms and complimentary food was provided. The students left campus at 8am on Saturday and returned Sunday evening. The canvassing trip proved to be a major success and an excellent opportunity to get involved.
While in Virginia, the college Dems also campaigned for Robin Abbott for the House of Delagates in the 93rd district by knocking on over 6,000 doors in one day. For their dedication and assistance, college Dems had the opportunity to meet with Robin Abbott and Governor Tim Kaine at a local rally!
It is speculated that the youth vote is critical to the Democratic chances of success for the election. Creigh Deeds is betting on the youth and AU's College Dems are helping to ensure this success.
If you're a student at American University and missed out on the opportunity to make a difference to turn Virginia blue, it's not too late! College Democrats will be canvassing every weekend. Contact Helen Boyer at audemscampaign@gmail.com or 302-893-3914 to get involved this weekend! You may even see yours truly there.
