A Richmond native and attorney like his opponent, Powell is otherwise very different from 49-year-old Cantor, Majority Leader in the U.S. House since 2011, and Culpeper County’s congressional representative since 2000.

The Real Cost of the Ryan Budget
Written by Rob Zerban | The Journal Times
Everywhere I go during my campaign — parades, farmers markets, even the local deli — I keep hearing the same thing from Wisconsin voters. “We need real representation,” they tell me, “representation that’s focused on the people and what we need.”
We're thrilled to report that PDA Board Member and friend Congressman John Conyers won his primary election. PDA members pitched in--volunteering, making phone calls, rallying support in the district. We're happy to share in this hard-won victory.

Alan Grayson Wins PDA National Endorsement
Written by Mike Fox | PDA National Team
In typical "let's get it done" fashion, PDA members on the ground in Florida rallied to insure that Alan Grayson would be considered for national endorsement. In record time they formed a functioning local chapter and held the vote, allowing Florida state wide to likewise push forward in record time -- and via unanimous vote -- to recommend Alan for national consideration.
One of my opponents has a new ad, claiming that I will shut down all children's lemonade stands.
Seriously.
He says that I won't be acting alone, of course. I will do it in concert with my "progressive cronies" - the actual term in the ad. Presumably in return for corporate PAC contributions from Big Lemon.
