So many exciting things happening this week!
My name is Zach Coltrain and I am running for the House of Delegates as a college music student in VA98.
The electing of Maxwell Frost in the Florida primarios brings nothing but hope to young people running for office, I am beyond motivated to see more gen z wins in the future.
As the semester rolls along and I have begun getting into the swing of things, I have started to interact more with my 2023 House of Delegates campaign.
This is my third week campaigning, and I have been using this time to engage with some folks in my district as well as sitting state delegates and a handful of candidates joining me in 2023 house elections.
In terms of funding I am incredibly close to getting the registered voters list in my area for my direct phone banking. I have begun communications with some college democrat organizations who are interested in finding me volunteers!
My website for the campaign is almost done and my team and I have been doing everything to ensure it has early voting resources and as many helpful links for voters as possible.
My 20th birthday on this past Saturday was relatively divided with my campaign and I was so very appreciative of the people who reached out to me. I would have loved to be in district with my family for this double-holiday weekend, but my support systems extend past my district which is what assures me we have a true shot in this race against Barry Knight. I was lucky to spend time this weekend forming more solid stances and understanding what my opponent believes.
As Labor Day comes around I think it’s important to highlight the fact that my opponent is comfortable with VA’s right to work stare status, and I intend to highlight to voters all throughout Virginia Beach that only one of us is in the election to actual protect workers rights and celebrate unionized workforce’s in the commonwealth.
It is my hope that everyone has a wonderful Labor Day, and I would urge every and anyone to support their local unions, and keep up with Starbucks and other corporations slowly giving up corporate bargaining rights to workers.
If you’re willing to help me out with a sort-of late birthday present, any donation will help me with outreach and help me get the contact information for all of the active Democrats in my area.
