Dem Shannon Forms PAC To Counter Virginia Tea Party Activity
Former Democratic Delegate Steve Shannon has launced a new political action committee, Virginians for a Better Way, as Shannon puts his toe back into Virginia politics. Shannon got walloped by Ken Cuccinelli in the race for attorney general last November. Shannon had resigned his Fairfax delegate’s seat to run for the office, and he’s been largely out of the public eye since. He described described the committee, which was formed Friday, as an attempt to form a counterbalance to the Tea Party, to encourage Democratic politics at the grassroots level.
