Traci Dippert, candidate for the House of Delegates from the 30th District, warned LOW Democrats and guests March 21 that citizen rights will continue to deteriorate unless they support new leadership in next fall’s election.
“Like me I know a lot of you are not happy with what happened last year in Richmond in regard to restriction of voter rights, assault on women’s rights and reproductive rights,” she said. “It happened again this year with the relentless, underhanded attack again on voter rights, the Electoral College and gerrymandering districts.
“Who would have thought that by us staying home in 2011 would have caused all this, but make no mistake, it did.
We cannot allow this to happen again.”
Ms. Dippert said that the current representative of the 30th District had been complicit in the General Assembly’s efforts to erode women’s rights, voter’s rights and civil rights.
“I see a future where Virginia leads in attracting new industries and entrepreneurs and helps existing businesses succeed without sacrificing our environment. A Virginia where farming can again be a sustainable way of life, and a future where there’s a quality job for every Virginian and our families stay strong and independent,” she said.
“I see a future where teachers like myself have all the necessary resources to prepare your children and grandchildren with a well-rounded education to face the challenges of the 21st Century. We must continue to lead the country in the talent pool and we must do so without guns in the classroom.”
Ms. Dippert, who teaches music to elementary school students at Rappahannock Elementary School, said “Every Virginian must have the opportunity to succeed whether a junior citizen in school or a senior citizen in retirement.”
“I need your help to secure that vision for Virginia,” she said. “This region has incredible untapped potential and deserves a representative who has the vision to move District 30 and all of Virginia forward.”
