Dinner that evening hosted by Governor Tim Kaine accompanied by Mark Warner, Jim Webb and attended by some presidential candidates.
More than 35 Democrats attended the 7th CD Committee meeting at the Best Western Motel in Culpeper. The District includes several counties ranging from Henrico and the City of Richmond in the lower end to Rappahannock and Page on the northern end. Hank Gorfein represents Rappahannock County Democrats on the committee. Ray Boc attended as county chair, and Bob Weinberg and Sharon Kilpatrick attended as observers.
By majority vote, the committee selected to have a primary because it is the most democratic way to select a candidate. It is a test for the candidates to get organized and financed to carry out a campuign. It is also an opportunity to develop name recognition by attending local events and getting press coverage. The candidate must get out to meet the electorate to articulate their stand on issues but also learn the concerns of those that they will represent. The primary is also a very transparent process as compared to the more limited openness of a convention.
