that richmond.com story about dems' abandoning lee carter, lol In order for a Democratic candidate to get party money and backing, the candidate must report daily to party brass in Richmond about how many doors they’ve knocked, how many fundraising calls they’ve made, how many hours they’ve spent fundraising on the phone — even how many thank you notes have been sent. Lee Carter, the Democratic candidate against Miller, opted out. So his party essentially cut him off, saying that without him providing information they had no choice but to put financial resources into candidates they know are doing what the party believes is required to win. *** The Democratic Party establishment is aligned with Dominion Energy, a regulated monopoly, and supportive of Dominion’s desire to build the Atlantic Coast natural gas pipeline across Virginia. Like their GOP counterparts, the Democrats are recipients of the cash Virginia’s top corporate political contributor pumps into the system, and the Democratic Party of Virginia received $125,000 in 2016, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. Carter opposes its plan for a natural gas pipeline and opposed its plan for a high-voltage transmission line that was to go through residential neighborhoods in Prince William County; the plan has stalled under local resistance. Environmentalists oppose the pipeline plan, with some questioning whether Atlantic Coast is necessary for Virginia’s power needs. *** Democratic Party leaders were not eager to discuss Carter, preferring to promote other candidates. Susan Swecker, chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Virginia, declined to comment through party spokeswoman Katie Baker. Trent Armitage, executive director of the House Democratic Caucus, issued this statement via Baker: “The Virginia House Democratic Caucus has been working very hard to elect as many Democrats to the House of Delegates as possible and has made substantial financial investments in Prince William County candidates Jennifer Carroll Foy, Elizabeth Guzman, and Hala Ayala.” “Early in the campaign, Lee Carter indicated he wanted to operate independently of the caucus, and has repeatedly refused to report metrics or offer any other proof to us that he is doing the work necessary to be elected. We support his candidacy, and are hoping that he wins, but it is difficult to justify a substantial investment without knowing his path to victory.” Not exactly, Carter said. “The statement by the House caucus is disappointing and somewhat disingenuous,” he said Friday. “Early in the campaign, we ceased reporting to the House caucus after multiple information security lapses in which confidential information that we reported to the House caucus was leaked outside of the party infrastructure. *** Carter declined to comment further on what he described as a security lapse. He also said that in exchange for money, the party “wanted a bit more editorial control over my messaging than I was comfortable with.” When asked for specifics, he declined to say.
