November 2026: Thank You, and Let’s Build on It!

Dear Isle of Wight County Rural Democrats,

It’s a great time to be a Democrat in America right now!

I want to start this month’s message by extending a warm congratulations to everyone for our extraordinary success at the polls this November.

Our achievements this election cycle are a direct result of your dedication, endless hours of hard work, and relentless efforts across every precinct. Whether you were knocking on doors, making phone calls, managing logistics, fundraising, organizing locally, or manning a booth or table for an event, your commitment made the difference in this historic election cycle.

Thank you for everything you do for our committee and our community. Let’s celebrate this major win and build on this momentum as we look to the work ahead.

To prepare for the coming year, at next week’s meeting we will devote time to reviewing our grassroots performance. We want to determine how to improve next year. I ask that each of you consider three questions:

  1. What went well and should be continued?

  2. What didn’t go well but could be useful if done differently?

  3. What was not worth the effort and should be discontinued?

We’ll explore these things together at our November 16th meeting at 6pm at the Blackwater Regional Library.

We have a great team and achieved wonderful results. I am so excited about our future!

Best regards,

Bill

Chair, IOWC Democratic Committee
