During a full day of constituent outreach, David met this afternoon with the Alexandria chapter of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) and this evening with the North Old Town Independent Citizens Civic Association (NOTICe), who were joined by area Sierra Club members.
About two dozens members of NARFE Chapter 232 convened at First Christian Church on King Street for a lively discussion of the challenges facing the General Assembly during the year’s legislative session. David updated the group on the state budget and several key legislative issues, and then listened to their thoughts and ideas on a range of issues.
At the special meeting of NOTICe, held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Fairfax Street, David addressed a packed ballroom of citizens, which included members of the civic association as well as Sierra Club and other environmental activists who came out for a special presentation on offshore wind energy. After providing a brief legislative update, David set up the featured speaker with a discussion of recent General Assembly action that is laying the groundwork for the development of wind energy generation off of the Virginia coast.
“I’m lucky to represent some of the most well informed and thoughtful constituents in Virginia, and it really showed during today’s discussions of the budget and alternative energy policy,” said David. “It’s really an honor and a pleasure to work with so many engaged citizens to move Virginia forward.”
