Dear John,

 

Today, we are thrilled to announce our second candidate of 2023: Lashrecse Aird for Virginia State Senate District 13! We must protect the Virginia Senate from falling into Republican hands this year, and this seat is absolutely critical in doing so. 

 

If you already know the importance of protecting the Virginia State Senate this year, help us kick off Lashrecse's campaign with a donation of $20.23! Or, read on to learn more about this critical election.

MEET LASHRECSE AIRD

Lashrecse Aird is running in the newly drawn 13th District in the Virginia State Senate.  Lashrecse served three terms in the VA House of Delegates and was the leader in passing Breonna’s Law in Virginia which banned the use of no-knock warrants.  In the Democratic primary, Aird defeated an anti-choice Democrat and will be a staunch advocate to protect reproductive freedom in Virginia.   Aird will use her experience fighting for all Virginians from the House in the VA Senate to advance progressive policies.

WHY VIRGINIA IS IMPORTANT

In 2023, we have a unique opportunity in Virginia to flip the House and expand the Senate Democratic majority in one election cycle. In 2021, Democrats lost the majority in the House by a total vote difference of 733 votes in the three closest districts. The entire State Senate is up for election for four-year terms.  It is crucial to hold the Senate that will serve through 2027.

 

The new state legislative maps are fair and provide Democrats with key opportunities in open seats and new districts. With recent Democratic wins in special Congressional and state senate elections, we have the momentum to compete in key swing districts that will decide the majority in the House and put us in the position to expand the Senate.
