There are no off-years in Virginia! Virginia has all 140 seats in their General Assembly up for re-election and it will have massive repercussions in the rest of the Country. We have Young Dems fighting for their lives down there to build the Democratic majority and block Governor Youngkin’s regressive agenda.
Virginia is the "Bellwether State" for the Presidential election. It's going to show the rest of the country how Democrats are going to perform on the National Stage.
Virginia is also the last safe haven for Abortion and Reproductive Rights in the South. No other Southern state has the same level of protections for child-bearing people than Virginia does and we have to protect that.
Virginia is also at the forefront of what people are calling the “Parents Rights” movement, where they maligning LGBTQ+ Students and LGBTQ+ Teachers, watering down Black History, and limiting how effective Public Education can be with arbitrary guidelines and allowing parents who not education professionals to dictate what other people’s children learn.
All of this matters for 2024 and keeping the White House.
