Friend,

Remember Amanda Chase? She’s that Republican senator who promised to “shoot down” gun control groups in a campaign ad last year. The same Republican senator who blamed rape victims for being “naive and unprepared.” The same Republican senator who cursed out a member of the Capitol Police when she was told to move her car, campaigned with a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist, and got kicked out of her local Republican Party committee.

We could go on, but last week Amanda Chase announced big news: She’s running for governor in 2021. From the conspiracy theory-peddling Ken Cuccinelli to the anti-immigrant extremist Ed Gillespie to the Confederate flag-waving Corey Stewart, Amanda Chase fits right in with Virginia Republicans’ past statewide candidates. And it’s up to us to organize and stop her.

Amanda Chase just declared she’s running for governor. Can you chip in so we can stop her?

Amanda Chase has made it clear that she would roll back everything Democrats have accomplished this year. She’s spent her time in the Senate voting against everything from commonsense gun safety rules to a minimum wage increase. If she won the governor’s race in 2021, she’d take Virginia back to 1921.

That’s why we have to start organizing now to stop her -- or whoever the Republicans nominate -- from taking back the Governor’s Mansion next year. Amanda Chase is way too dangerous and extreme for Virginia. But if there’s one lesson Donald Trump taught us, it’s that Republicans will nominate just about anyone. She could end up on the ballot next November, and it’s our job to defeat her. Can you donate today so we’re ready to defeat any far-right extremist the Republicans nominate for governor?
