We Believe
We embrace the mission and message of the Democratic party that anyone, from any walk of life, should have a fair shot at the American Dream.
We believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls.

The rezoning process for the Wilderness Crossing development in Locust Grove is well underway with meetings of the Planning Commission held on January 5 and January 19 to discuss various aspects of the proposal with the developer and other involved entities. You can read a recap of the January 5 meeting from Don McCown of the Piedmont Environmental Council here. The January 19 meeting focused on the Route 3 buffer zones and green areas.
