In an unprecedented move, the Stafford Democratic Committee is taking our message to voters in a big way.

This morning we’ve taken our message to the airwaves with the launch of TV spots for our democratic Board of Supervisor candidates: Doug Filler (D-Falmouth) and Laura Sellers (D-Garrisonville)!

Their opponents have saturated our mailboxes with misleading mailers and flooded the streets with yard signs. In fact Mr. Filler’s two Republican opponents seem more interested in attacking one another, instead of laying out a positive vision for our future. On the topic of yard signs, we learned from last year’s election that “Signs don’t vote!”

We need your help in fighting back, in order to get our positive message out to voters on Education, Fiscal Responsibility, Transportation, the Environment and Public Safety – to name a few. With a Democratic-led coalition in control these past two years, the county has held the line on spending and taxes on the homeowner: the average tax bill went up just 70 cents this year – a miniscule 0.04%. Contrast that with the 36% hike in the homeowner’s tax that occurred in the prior 4 years under Republican control.

We would not have been able to make this bold move without your support. You’ve helped us surpass every fundraising goal we’ve set over the past two years. But we’re counting on your help once again. We can’t allow our opponents to define the terms of this debate.

Our opponents are outspending us better than 5-1. They are using this money to smear our candidates, hide from their records and, in one case, re-package democratic ideas as their own. We need your help in setting the record straight.

We’re going to fire back with everything we’ve got, but the strength of that response depends on you.
