Friends —

You may know this already, but as you read this email today, Democrats across Virginia — Old Dominion — are working to get out the vote in pivotal elections for their state and the entire country.

I’m reaching out today to ask if you can contribute to the Virginia Democratic party as they work to beat the far-right and protect our democracy.

And if you’re not convinced yet, please, read on.

In 2019, Virginia voted in its first Democratic majority in the state General Assembly in decades.

They immediately got to work expanding the right to vote, protecting communities from gun violence, passing long-needed climate legislation, and much more.

But just two years later, all of that progress was put in jeopardy when Republicans took back the state house and the governorship. Only the Senate remained in Democratic control, where for the last two years Democrats have been able to block the worst of the far-right’s legislative proposals.

Now, with increasing attacks on our democracy and civil rights by today’s Republican party, it’s more important than ever to flip Virginia blue once again.

All 100 seats of the House of Delegates and all 40 seats of the State Senate are up for grabs in this election — and with Republican gerrymandered districts now eliminated, Democrats have a chance to win everything.

Glenn Youngkin has made it clear that if the GOP wins a majority in both houses, they’ll get right to work stripping abortion rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights and everything else we’ve fought so hard for.

And if far-right Republicans win in Virginia, they’ll take it as a sign that they can go on offense and win in states across the country in 2024.

Volunteers are on the ground right now across Old Dominion, working to get more pro-democracy voters to the polls and win highly competitive swing districts.

So please, with just a few weeks to go:

Make a contribution to the Virginia Democratic Party today and help power key campaigns as they make their final push towards election day on November 7th.

This may be this year’s most important election in the entire country for those who know we must stand up for our democracy. I hope we can count on your contribution today.
