• State Senate District 31 Rural Forum

    Sponsored by The Fauquier County Democratic Committee (FCDC), and the Catoctin and Little River Magisterial Districts of the Loudoun County Democratic Committee (LCDC)

    Together we serve the rural half of Senate District 31

     

    As most are aware, winning the 31st will be crucial to us maintaining control of the Virginia Senate. We believe this “friendly debate forum” will give voters a chance to hear from both candidates and we hope you can attend.

    Here’s  some critical information:  

    · Date: Wednesday, 7 June, 2023 

    · Time: Doors open at 6:30PM with the forum going from 7:00 to 8:30PM.

     

    · Location: The Marshall Community Center, 4133-A Rectortown Road Marshall, VA 20115 ; PHONE: 540-422-8580.

     

    · Moderator: Lawrence K. “Lou” Emerson, former owner and Publisher of Fauquier Now, a three-time winner of the Virginia Press Association’s sweepstakes award as the state’s best online-only news operation.

     

    We are soliciting potential debate forum questions from all Democratic Voters in the district. If you would like to submit a question for consideration, you can do so at: SS31Questions@FauquierDemocrats.org

     

    We hope to live-stream the event as well, and are investigating that.

     

    We believe this will be a great event demonstrating the excellence of both of our primary candidates. We hope you will lend your support by attending and making this a successful evening.

    INFLATION REDUCTION ACT:

    The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will tackle inflation, lower costs for American families, and reduce the deficit.

    • This law allows Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for millions of seniors, saving hundreds of millions of dollars, and lowers health insurance costs for 13 million Americans by an average of $800 a year, under the Affordable Care Act.

    • The law caps seniors’ Medicare out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs at $2,000 a year.

    • The law will improve our energy security and tackle our climate crisis – by providing tax credits and investments for energy projects, and creating thousands of new jobs and helping lower energy costs in the future.

    • The law will reduce the deficit beyond the record setting $1.7 trillion deficit reduction this year, which will help fight inflation as well.

    • And will pay for all of this by requiring big corporations to pay their fair share of taxes.

    Through the Infrastructure Act:
    • The Virginia Health Department will receive $46 million in federal funding to replace lead water lines throughout the state, in an effort to fight contamination in the commonwealth’s drinking water.

    • Virginia will receive Hundreds of Millions to improve roads and rail service.
