Virginia Young Democrats Rural Caucus
Who We Are
The Virginia Young Democrats (VAYD) Rural Caucus represents the rural constituency of Democrats ages 13 to 35. The caucus aims to support young, rural candidates in their endeavors for office, build a presence in our rural communities, and lobby for legislation that benefits rural Virginia.
So far this cycle, the caucus has sent over 24k texts and 5k calls for non-battleground young, rural Delegate candidates and our members have knocked hundreds of doors with VAYD. In September, we will host our first Rural Rally with Young Democrats of America.
