As the 2018 midterm elections gets closer, political experts say there is a growing grass-roots activists group to keep your eye on: The Liberal Women of Chesterfield County, which formed after the 2016 presidential election. "It's not just one group, it's over 50 sub-groups. The organization's volunteering and advocacy efforts appear to be paying off for the Democrats. In the last election season, candidates backed by this organization have either come close to beating or have beaten their Republican opponents in areas that have voted conservative for decades. "In the terms of the organizations, local grass[roots] groups that are focusing on women in politics and getting women involved in politics are getting more women to register to vote, getting more women to run for office," Perry said. Perry said Liberal Women of Chesterfield County is analogous to the Tea Party, but only when it comes to how both organizations began. [Liberal Women Of Chesterfield County] really is centrally a grassroots effort that began by women who are residents of Chesterfield County, many of them for generations." The Republican National Committee said the group exists to resist all Republican efforts because of Donald Trump's presidency. The name of the group may change - Liberal Women of Chesterfield County, Indivisible, or just plain old Democrats - but the mission doesn’t: resist at all costs. The Republican Party of Chesterfield County has not yet responded to a request for comment.
