We met people who looked like us but with whom we had little in common. Fast forward 20 years &#8212; Manassas and the 50th are a multicultural environment where liberal ideals and values are finally not something to be spoken of in hushed voices. Liberal ideas and values &#8211; human values &#8211; are beginning to flourish like a beautiful garden. But all gardens need nourishment and caretakers. Come join us and be a gardener for liberal ideas. Let&#8217;s cultivate the garden for our future.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2017 is an important year in Virginia politics.\u00a0 In the 50th House District (Manassas and Bristow), we have a wonderful opportunity to elect Lee J.
