The 2008 Arlington Jefferson-Jackson Dinner will be held on Friday, July 11 at 6:00 p.m. at the Westin Arlington Gateway. The JJ Committee is excited to announce that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine will be this year's Keynote speaker.
Since his election in 2005, Governor Kaine has been a strong advocate for and a leader on issues important to Arlington Democrats and Democrats across the Commonwealth of Virginia, including Transportation, Education, Protecting the Environment, and securing funding for the Dulles rail extension. Governor Kaine has also played a key role for the Democratic National Committee, giving the official Democatic response to the 2006 State of the Union address.
The annual Jefferson-Jackson Dinner is not only the Arlington Democrats' premier fundraiser of the year, but also gives Arlington Democrats an opportunity to recognize and honor those who have worked so hard over the past year and to mingle with friends, colleagues, and elected officials. 2008 is a historic year for Arlington County, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the United States. With your help we can ensure that Virginia goes BLUE in a Presidential race for the first time since 1964!
