Statement on H.R. 2616
We are aware of the eight Democrats, including Rep. Vindman, who voted in support of the so‑called “Don’t Say Trans” bill. This legislation restricts how gender identity can be discussed in schools and threatens federal funding for districts that refuse to comply. It forces teachers, nurses, librarians, and other school administrators into an impossible choice: either violate a student’s trust and potentially put them in danger or risk their own careers. This MAGA-led distraction is designed to divide our communities; it creates an environment where transgender and nonbinary students are singled out, silenced, and made less safe.
This vote does not reflect our values. The Culpeper County Democratic Committee stands firmly and unapologetically with the LGBTQ+ community. We will oppose H.R. 2616 and any other measure that threatens their safety, dignity, or freedom. We urge everyone who shares these values to contact your representatives, including Senators Kaine and Warner, and insist they stop this dangerous bill from moving forward in the Senate.

Culpeper Firemen’s Parade—ALL HANDS ON DECK!!
Meet in the parking lot behind Tractor Supply:
Thursday, May 28th, 5:30 for set-up. Parade starts moving at 6:30.
We will have things to decorate the pickup truck and trailer. Bring a water bottle. Wear comfortable shoes. If you can’t walk the whole way down Main St, there will be room for sitting in the truck and trailer. It is important that we have a good showing at this ultimate crowd-canvassing opportunity! Let Culpeper know that the Culpeper Dems are alive and well!
Candy donations are welcome. We’ll also have little American flags to pass out.
Candidates Need Petition Signatures AND SUPPORTERS!
Candidates for every seat need signatures to get on the ballot. We have several petitions for Democratic candidates in the office right now.
Please sign them to help Democratic candidates qualify, and to show the strength Democratic candidates bring. Your signature on their ballot petitions is not an endorsement, just a path to ballot inclusion.
CCDC is also offering an optional form for members and supporters who want to share their contact information directly with the Democratic candidates running in the VA-07 primary. CCDC does not share its membership or contact rosters, so this is the only opportunity for candidates to receive your information for direct outreach. Your information will be sent only to the candidates you select. CLICK HERE to open the form.
