If Democrats can take six additional seats in the House, they will have a one-seat majority in the next term, which will include the excrutiatingly important redistricting of the state following the decennial census. Here's one race to watch, in the attempt to gain six additional House seats. Virginia's 17th District, in the Roanoke area, has an open seat with
the retirement of Bill Frain. The Democratic candidate is Gwen
Mason, a member of the Roanoke City Council. Her opponent is Bill Cleaveland,
an attorney in Botetourt County. You will note that Mason has outraised
Cleaveland 2:1, and has 2 1/2 times the bucks on hand.
Major contributors include Consumer Litigation Associates, the Virginia House Democratic Caucus and Warner and Barbara Dalhouse Cleaveland
Major conributors include Cleaveland to himself and Frain for Delegate (Dave Sagarin, September 18, 2009)
