Suffolk Democratic Committee Meeting
Next Tuesday, June 12, 2018 @ 6:30 pm.
LW Lawn Service
701 Old East Pinner St.
Last week, Virginia Senate Republicans were on the verge of working for the interests of Virginians by passing a budget which included Medicaid expansion, but instead, they put off the budget vote for another week. A majority of senators – that is all Democrats and just enough Republicans – have indicated that they would listen to their constituents and support Medicaid expansion. On Tuesday, the Senate will resume budget talks.
That’s why on Tuesday, May 29th people from all over Virginia will meet in Richmond to remind their senators that Virginians want and need Medicaid expansion. While they dawdle, thousands of hard-working Virginians continue to be unable to afford medical care.
The rally starts at 10:30, May 29th at The Pocahontas Building at 900 E. Main Street, Richmond, Virginia.
Several organizations are coming together to organize this event. Please see links below for more information:

Yesterday, the Suffolk Democratic Committee honored Marion D. Flood, Mary C. Haddad, and Robin J. Whitley for the service to our community. Dr. Douglass Naismith accepted the award on behalf of Ms. Haddad, who was out of the country during the ceremony.
Marion Flood’s award was presented by Michele Faulk, who recognized her volunteer work in promoting literacy and in establishing programs for children in Whaleyville. Robert Stephens recognized Mary Haddad for her contributions to and service in several community programs including the Lou and Mary Haddad Foundation, which provides funds to support Suffolk students, and Dorothy Waddell spoke of Robin Whitley’s volunteerism with many causes in and around the City of Suffolk such as Relay for life and the Genève Shelter, and her political activism.
The Honorable Justin E. Fairfax, Lieutenant Governor for the State of Virginia, was our guest speaker. Lt. Governor Fairfax acknowledged that honorees don’t do it for the awards, but do deserve them. He also spoke about making progress during contentious times.
