FYI - Virginia has elections for the foreseeable future

Let's hope the ground game stays strong. The grassroots ground game I might add which appears to be quite strong.
The Commonwealth will be a great test lab on HOW to run campaigns and recruit candidates.
An experienced crew can't be overstated and creating a culture of the volunteer system is not quantifiable. After the beginning of the year I'm jumping back in (~1,400 doors knocked on for Tim Kaine in 2012).

2018
Sen. Tim Kaine race for re-election. Corey Stewart?
All 11 Congressional seats.
Currently 7 Republicans and 4 Democrats
Dems have won 4 of the last 5 Senate races and 3 of the last 4 Gubernatorial races AND have won the last 3 Presidnetial races.
Does it smell like gerrymandering?
