“We’re very excited to be able to bring our program to a larger audience in both the Charlottesville and Shenandoah Valley areas. ‘Politics Matters’ is actively seeking additional venues so that we may continue our in depth exploration of the issues that face our nation at every level of government. Local community participation in the democratic process has never been more important. ‘Politics Matters’ will continue its focus on individuals with an outstanding commitment to principled politics and we’re delighted to partner with WVPT in the pursuit of this goal'” said Paynter.
