ARLINGTON, VA: Patrick Hope won a decisive victory in the Arlington Young Democrats straw poll Wednesday night, winning 57% of the vote. This vote is the only planned straw poll this year for young voters.
“I have said before that this campaign is about choosing a new generation of progressive leadership,” Patrick Hope said after the results. “This victory shows that young progressive activists are rallying behind our campaign.”
