I’m trying to do,” said the Democrat, who has benefited from small donations. She said she raised $10,000 in one month from contributions of $500 or less. Leesburg lawyer Charles King said that, for him, the hardest part of raising money is the discipline it requires. He seeks the Republican nomination for chairman, and he said he spends an hour or two each day calling potential donors.

his year’s elections for the nine seats on Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors won’t necessarily be the most expensive ever, but they’re still shaping up to be costly endeavors. Candidates in the countywide race for chairman expect to spend $200,000 to $300,000 on their campaigns, and while the price tags of contests in
individual districts will vary, hopefuls are likely, as in previous runs, to fork out tens of thousands of dollars. Asking supporters for not only their votes but also for resources to secure other folks’ votes usually isn’t an easy assignment, candidates acknowledged this week. But it’s a “necessary evil,” according to Democrat Andrew Resnick, who wants to unseat Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe in the Algonkian District. Resnick’s party mate Phyllis Randall said she

Brother and sister puppies Benny, left, and Cleo play in the backyard of the Furtado house in Ashburn, where Cleo now lives.
n Monday, 16-week-old brother and sister puppies Benny and Cleo frolicked around a snowy Ashburn backyard, playfully nipping at each other’s ears and tumbling over one another. It’s hard to believe that a little more than a month ago the two pups, part-Shiba Inu and part-German Shepherd, were destined to be sold for food in South Korea. “It’s crazy to think about what was going to happen to them,” said LyndaLea Furtado, whose family in Ashburn adopted Cleo. “We’re just happy these dogs now have a comfortable home where they’re loved.”
