More about Barbara:"I love God and my neighbor. I am an elections junkie from way back. I've worked on campaigns, for issues I believe in, have run for office, worked in the polls, been an election official and a registrar. I've worked on elections at home and in six other countries. I am passionate about the issues and causes I believe in and deeply committed to ensuring the integrity of ever election. Now that I am retired I still get involved in elections now and then, and will be working hard for Democratic candidates in 2012. I love my home on the Rappahannock River where I can enjoy my favorite pastimes- reading, writing,photography, painting and cooking.".
