MARY LEE CERILLO, FRED MITTELMAN, RYAN MEYERS AND
KRISTIN CABRAL

We are four loyal Obama supporters who are running to represent you and the other residents of the Tenth Congressional District at the Democratic National Convention in August.  We support Obama because he stands for change.  Moving us beyond the rancor and the divisiveness of the past, he has inspired people to become part of the political process.  He is building a coalition interested in economic and national security.  We will vote for Obama on every ballot!!

We respectfully ask for your vote at the Leesburg 10th Congressional District Convention on May 17th

For Female Delegate:  Mary Lee Cerillo
Mary Lee Cerillo is a tireless advocate for Obama.  She has worked in Sully District making sure all polling places were covered with Obama lit and signs on Virginia Primary Day.
She has phone banked to several different states, traveled to York, Pennsylvania where she canvassed and phone banked,
participated in a postcard campaign for undecided voters, and has been an active member of Fairfax for Obama where she organized a state delegate slate.

Mary Lee has served as the Sully District Chair for the past four years.  She is a precinct captain for Cub Run precinct.  Sully has gone from taking one precinct in 2000 to turn nineteen blue in 2005.  She was the volunteer coordinator for John Kerry in her district.  She was elected as a delegate to the state convention in 2004.  She has worked on numerous campaigns, including Delegate Chuck Caputo, Senator Mark Herring, Governor Kaine and most recently Senator George Barker.  Mary Lee worked tirelessly to elect Senator Jim Webb and was a member of his "rag tag group of grassroots volunteers" who campaigned for him statewide.  She has volunteered as a photographer for numerous candidates, campaigns and events and has supplied Lowell and Raising Kaine with an abundance of photos.

Fred Mittelman for Male Delegate:  Fred is a longtime Obama supporter.  He was a founding member of  "Fairfax for Obama."  He has phone banked into several states, dealt with Virginia primary day legal problems, and drives a van plastered with
Obama signs.  Fred is the Vice Chair of the State Party's Promote the Vote Committee and a member of the Dranesville Democratic Committee.  He has volunteered on numerous campaigns since the mid-1960's including those for Senator Webb and Robb, and Governors Warner and Kaine.

Ryan Myers for Male Delegate:  Ryan (just back from working
in his own North Carolina hometown) has been working to get Senator Obama elected since March 2007.  He was one of two people tasked with starting what has since become "Loudoun for Obama."  Ryan is currently the Secretary of the Loudoun Democratic Committee.  He worked with the Virginia Black Caucus to put together their Family Reunion.  In 2007, Ryan ran as the Democrat endorsed candidate for School Board in Loudoun County. (Sugarland Run District).  He is on the Obama state delegate slate that includes David Poisson.

Kristin Cabral for Female Alternate:  Kristin has been with Obama since the beginning.  She has volunteered for the campaign by phone banking for the Virginia primary at the Falls Church headquarters, helping to organize volunteers, handing out literature at the polls, data harvesting information on supporters, phone banking in numerous states, canvassing in York, Pennsylvania and organizing a state delegate slate.  She first met Obama in 1988 when they were students together and she has known since their campus days that he would go on to doing great things.

She is the Chairperson of the FCDC's Women's Rights Committee, Chair of the Dranesville Democratic Women's Club and a member of the Virginia Democratic Women's Caucus.  She is also of FCDC's Election Protection Task Force, the Dranesville District Committee and the Tenth Congressional District Committee.  In 2004 she was elected as a Kerry state delegate.  She has worked hard to elect Democrats such as Senator Webb, Delegate Vanderhye and Dranesville Supervisor John Foust.

Bruce Roemmelt (Bryan Scrafford - 5/8/2008 11:13:34 AM)
Bruce Roemmelt is another great candidate for national delegate from the 10th Congressional District. As many of you may remember, Bruce ran for the House of Delegates against Bob Marshall. Although he didn't win, he put together a great organization and literally personally talked to thousands of voters in the area. All the work he put into identifying voters and helping to build up the Democratic Party in his district will no doubt help Judy Feder, Mark Warner, and Barack Obama hopefully win the 10th.

Obviously he has even more qualifications, but I just wanted to draw some attention to the fact that he was running to be a national delegate. I think the work he has done for the Democratic Party is more than enough to elect him as a national delegate.

I second those comments Bryan. Bruce has been one of the hardest working Democrats the past few years and has done more than enough to be elected as a national delegate. Let's hope all of the 10th CD delegates get behind Bruce on this!
