David and other Northern Virginia Democrats joined Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) at a Young Professionals fundraiser for Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine yesterday evening at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington. Obama, the rising star 
(and current rock star) of the Democratic Party, spoke to a cheering crowd of more than 1,000 Democratic activists, including more than a dozen members of Team Englin. Following remarks by Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), 
Obama introduced Kaine, who shared his strong, positive vision to keep Virginia moving in the right direction.
“Barack Obama is an inspiration to so many of us who share his believe that progressive values are traditional American values,” said David. “It was wonderful to spend some time with him, and I know his strong endorsement of Tim Kaine will help all Virginia Democrats in November.”
“He’s the handsomest man in the Senate, and I hugged him,” said Eryn Kawecki, one of Team Englin’s volunteers.
Obama urged members of the audience to roll up their sleeves and do the hard grassroots work of making phone calls, 
knocking on doors, and stuffing envelopes to ensure victory for Tim Kaine and the entire Democratic ticket in November. Join us next Tuesday and do your part to turn out the 45th District and beyond for Tim Kaine! Let Mel know you’re coming: 703-549-3203 or volunteer@davidenglin.org.
