Paul's Vision
Paul is running to lead the Arlington Democrats to organize boldly, communicate clearly, and build a party where everyone has a voice. Guiding a volunteer-driven organization means creating space for others to step up, take ownership, and grow into leadership. It takes thoughtful, people-centered direction, grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a belief that everyone has something to contribute.
After decisive Democratic victories in Virginia, this is our moment to turn momentum into lasting strength during the Trump years. The same energy that delivered big statewide wins must now grow our local committee and deliver real results for our community. By channeling that energy into year-round organizing, deeper neighborhood connections, and a party culture that seeks out new voices, Arlington Democrats can model what leadership looks like—rooted in community, open to everyone who wants to make a difference, and leading the way.
Stand Up
Arlington Democrats can't just talk the talk. We have to walk the walk. That means talking to voters, strengthening our communities, and partnering with grassroots allies who are already leading the charge. Our greatest organizational strength lies in our ability to engage every community and every neighborhood.
