Former Richmond City Councilwoman Donna Powers: “This legacy that you have, it gives me goose bumps. You can drive all around West County and you can point out all of these facilities and you can go, ‘I did that. I got that done.’ … It’s so nice to have people who actually get elected and get off their butt, and they do something.”. Peter Hanley, San Mateo Union High School District Trustee: “We all kind of learn that it’s not about waiting for the storms to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain. And I think Charles has learned to do that very well, so I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.”.

With Herring facing new scrutiny, even close observers of Virginia politics were suddenly at a loss: If Northam, Fairfax and Herring are out of the picture, who’s next?. Happily, the state’s constitution is clear on this. Fourth-in-line to the governorship is the Speaker of the House of Delegates, Kirk Cox, R. Note that R! Should the three Democrats step aside, Virginia would suddenly have a Republican governor. But only because of a coin toss. You may remember that the 2017 state elections in Virginia were the front edge of the blue wave that eventually washed over the House of Representatives. Democrats overperformed in the state, taking even seats that were considered to be fairly safe for Republicans. At the end of the night on Election Day, it wasn’t clear which party would control the chamber.
That revelation women's slippers- blue ballet flat- merino wool felt- handmade in italy- grosgrain ribbon & bow- size eu 39 serves to set “Volta” in motion, as Waz learns to embrace and even celebrate the very thing he once tried to hide, “He was ridiculed when he was young about this, so he always tried to hide it,” Spierkel says, “Now, he’s being forced to reveal it and accept it.”, There’s always some type of message to take away from a Cirque du Soleil show, But the company doesn’t always spell it out for folks, preferring to leave it a bit more open for interpretation, But that’s not really the case with “Volta,” which really underscores the message “to believe in yourself and accept who you are.”..
