Dear Friend,

Since we’re only 10 weeks away from Election Day, I am excited to share an update on the widespread support my campaign has received, and continues to receive, from so many remarkable public officials and organizations. We have been endorsed by dozens of elected officials, progressive organizations, labor unions, and community leaders. It is incredibly humbling to see that the inclusive, people-centric message of this campaign resonates with so many across the Commonwealth. 

These individuals and organizations work hard advocating for working families, democratic principles, and our collective future. They know that the only direction we can move is forward, and that we must do so together. Virginia succeeds when all Virginians have opportunities to thrive, regardless of their zip code.

I’ll share a few comments from two of my endorsers that I find incredibly touching and that truly embody the spirit of the work I’ve focused on for the past four years. Additionally, I’ve attached a fuller list of my endorsers to date, and I hope you’re as excited about them as I am.

"Having served with Senator Ghazala Hashmi in the General Assembly, I've seen first-hand the passion, care, and intentionality she brings to her work,” said Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan. “Whether it is advocating for increased funding for our public schools, urging our government to protect the environment, or defending our right to reproductive care and abortion access, Senator Hashmi does not shy away from a fight. She is exactly the type of legislator we need in Virginia, and that's why I'm proud to endorse her for re-election to Senate District 15."

"Senator Ghazala Hashmi has a record of getting things done for the Virginians she serves. In the Virginia Senate, she has been a tireless advocate for what the people of Central Virginia want most — lower costs, safer communities, and strong public schools. I’m proud to endorse her for re-election to Senate District 15.” - Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger 

While I’m incredibly excited about the momentum behind our campaign, we can never take anything for granted. Republicans are doing everything they can to hold the Majority in the House of Delegates and to claim the Senate. Let’s not forget that it’s been one seat in the Virginia Senate that gave us the majority, that propelled progress in Virginia, and that put up the brick wall to keep Virginia from a GOP disaster. One seat. It’s the seat that so many of you helped to flip in 2019. My seat.

Can you chip in $10, $15, or $50 today to help us as we head into this final sprint towards Election Day? The stakes are too high for us to not leave it all on the field.

As always, thank you for your support, 

Ghazala Hashmi
