Dan Helmer - VADF / HRI Fundraiser with Congresswoman Elaine Luria
2019-09-24 14:30 - 16:30 | Home of Luke Levasseur
Virginia Democracy Forward and Herndon-Reston Indivisible are hosting a fundraiser for candidate, Dan Helmer in VA House District 40. Congresswoman Elaine Luria (CD02) will be our special guest.
Dan Helmer is a great candidate for this district. He lives there with his wife, Karen, a public school teacher, and their two sons. He is a West Point graduate, served tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Korea, and remains a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. Today he runs a small business ensuring veterans have access to high-quality healthcare.
Winning HD40 would mean that the last Red held district in Fairfax County would be turned Blue! If you remember, this district is currently held by Tim Hugo and in 2017 Democrat Donte Tanner lost this race by 99 votes. We are doing everything we can to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Dan Helmer and his team are running a great campaign. HRI is canvassing & writing postcards and we want to see Dan across the finish line by helping him with the necessary funding to be successful in November.
Please consider joining us on Tuesday, September 24th from 6:30pm-8:30pm for appetizers and drinks at the Home of Luke Levasseur in McLean. If you cannot join us on the 24th, donate any amount you can, every $$ counts to winning in November. Winning House District 40 is key to flipping the VA General Assembly Blue.
