The Democrats of Virginia Beach recently nominated Tyra Fitch as chair, a two-year post members will vote on Jan. 9.
Fitch, a Connecticut native, rolled up her sleeves in 2008 and began working with the Democrats of Virginia Beach on several key campaigns including the 2008 presidential election. Eight other Democratic members were recently nominated to leadership posts. In a town that historically votes Republican, Democrats are actively recruiting new members.
“I got a lot of support,” Fitch said of her recent nomination. “A lot of people came out. We have a lot of goals. We want to get different neighborhoods engaged in the political process, as well as churches, and individuals.
“The challenge is to provide more training for our volunteers, officers, in fact, everybody,” Fitch continued.
