From the Board ChairWe have reached the halfway point of our three-year strategic plan, which has provided tremendous momentum to our efforts to make Virginia politics more accessible.

Here are some of our successes in 2015:

• We diversified and increased VPAP’s donor base to increase programs and enhance our independence.

• We broadened the audience for our website through a new tool – All Politics Is Local – that provides users with a list of their elected representatives, upcoming elections, and news about their community.

• We expanded the audience for VaNews, our daily compilation of newspaper articles about state politics and government.

• On Election Night, we delivered more than two million page requests for live election results.

In the year ahead, we will remain fiercely nonpartisan. We are dedicated to connecting Virginians to trusted information so they can make informed decisions.

Thank you for your interest in VPAP. Please let me know if you have suggestions, kudos, or criticism. We hope to continue to earn your trust.
