Wythe County Democrats will hold our monthly general meeting on Tuesday, May 19 at 6pm at the Wytheville Training School Cultural Center (410 E Franklin St.). You can find our meeting agenda and April minutes attached. As we head into the summer, the midterms are fast approaching and we need to prepare. Bring a friend, family member, neighbor, or whoever is concerned about the direction of our country because we need everyone to stand up.

The midterms are only 169 days away, and we have the opportunity to send a new representative to Congress from Southwest Virginia, provide a check on the actions of the administration, and keep a Democrat representing Virginia in the Senate.  

We have three declared Democratic candidates for the 9th Congressional District, Adam Murphy, Douglas Crockett, & Joy Powers.  You can find out more information about them below, and we’ll share events from each campaign. It is fantastic that we have three great candidates.

The primary election date is only 77 days away on Tuesday, August 4th with early voting opening on June 18th (Only 30 Days Away).

Senator Mark Warner is also up for re-election as the Democratic nominee. Find more about his campaign and how to get involved below.

While we don’t have any officially partisan local offices on the ballot in 2026, we do have plenty of non-partisan offices on the ballot this year.  

Town of Wytheville will elect:

Town of Rural Retreat will elect:

The filing deadline for these elections is June 16th which is right around the corner.  While these aren’t partisan offices, if anyone is interested in running, and would like additional information or assistance please reach out.
