Just when I was finding the time to get back to blogging, I jumped into a State Senate Campaign!
How did this happen, you might wonder.
Tragically, State Senator Ben Chafin from the 38th District in Southwest Virginia died, as have over 400,000 other Americans, from Covid. My thoughts have been with his family and friends, as my thoughts have been with all those who have suffered in one way or another from this dreaded virus.
The Governor of Virginia called a Special Election to be held on March 23rd, and despite my inordinately full schedule, I decided that I could not let a race go unchallenged. So, I am off and running! If you like, visit my website for information about my platform: Laurie Buchwald for Senate
I’ll take some photos of my socially distanced / masked travels throughout the district and share them when I can. I’ll look forward to visiting you and your blogs in late spring.
Stay Safe! Mask Up! Listen to Dr. Fauci!

So proud of you!
I love what you are doing Laurie. You go girl š
You’re an inspiration, Laurie. Thank you for running. Thank you for caring!
You have been and always will be that bright light, now go shine.
You will be a breath of fresh air up on capital hill. There isn’t a better person for the job. Hope the rest of those voters gets to know you like we do. You have an honorable heart.
Wow! So unexpected and so exciting! I’m so proud of you. We need public servants like you in government. I’m thrilled and wishing you all the best!
You’re AMAZING and the BEST candidate for the job !!
Wow! Laurie! Good for you and good luck! You would be a breath of common sense in Richmond!
The only down side is that I can’t vote for you! Thank you Laurie, for putting your hat in. You are just what Virginia needs. I love you ā¤
