John, did you know that Virginia is the last southern state without a post-Roe v. Wade abortion ban?
That's all thanks to the narrow Democratic majority in the state Senate — and the legislators in that chamber who refuse to pass anti-choice legislation. But, with state legislative elections coming up this November, you better believe Virginia Republicans are doing everything in their power to flip that Senate chamber and use the majority to attack abortion access.
EMILYs List is in this fight. We've endorsed Russet Perry — a Democratic pro-choice woman running in one of Virginia's most competitive state Senate districts this year.
This seat — in Virginia's 31st Senate District — is a tipping point seat that will likely decide the future of abortion in Virginia. The stakes are that high.
And Russet Perry is the very best candidate for this fight: She's a former prosecutor and former CIA officer, a mom to two public school students, and a longtime advocate in her community. Russet's Republican opponent, who just moved to the 31st District from Washington, D.C. last October, is the son of a billionaire — and he’s already dropped $1 million into this race.
We can't let Russet Perry get outspent, John. Donate now to *directly support* her campaign and help protect abortion access for over four million women across Virginia:
