Prince William Democrats Hire Executive Director, Launch Intern Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahead of Pivotal Elections, Prince William Democrats Name David Pala as Executive Director and Launch an Internship Program to Boost Youth Grassroots Energy<\/em><\/p>\n

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA <\/strong>\u2014 Last month, the Prince William Democratic Committee, in tandem with the Manassas and Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee, hired David Pala to their newly-created Executive Director position. This morning, Pala unveiled a new internship program aimed primarily at the area\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year\u2019s presidential election \u2013 especially during the Democratic Primaries \u2013 brought an unprecedented number of young people into the political process,\u201d said Pala. \u201cOur new internship program is designed to harness their energy and turn it into political activism. Tomorrow\u2019s Democratic leaders live right here in the Prince William area. Our goal is to arm them with the organizing, party-building, and campaign skills necessary to lead our county and our commonwealth.<\/p>\n

This program isn\u2019t just about the elections on November 7th<\/sup>, either,\u201d Pala continued. \u201cThis is about building our party from the ground-up, and creating the kind of energy and numbers we\u2019ll need to win in years to come. We must think and act for the long term\u201d<\/p>\n

Pala brings with him a familiarity of campaigning in the Prince William County as well as a broad breadth of political experience. Before being hired as Executive Director, Pala\u2019s experience includes being Political Director of New Virginia Majority, Political and Field strategist during State Senator Jeremy McPike\u2019s 2015 campaign, and Regional Field Director for the Kentucky Democratic Party. \u201cI have worked on or coordinated with 13 campaigns across Virginia, winning most of them. Prince William County, Manassas, and Manassas Park are the battleground region of our battleground state with national implications on the line\u201d said Pala.<\/p>\n

David grew up in Northern Virginia between Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties.<\/p>\n
