DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF VIRGINIA
Chairwoman Susan Swecker
Democratic Party of Virginia Chairwoman
A lifelong Virginian, Susan was born and raised on the Swecker family farm in the picturesque Blue Grass Valley in Highland County. Her upbringing was pretty typical of most members of rural middle America of that era, an abiding faith in God, love of country, while questioning our leaders and our direction, and for her family, a deep belief in the Democratic Party.
Those strong political beliefs weren’t always well received by everyone, but that was where Susan learned the value of listening to other’s opinions, being open-minded as well as developing a tough skin. All three have served her well over the years!
