We recently told you about VA Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s eye-popping fundraising totals from August.
Now, the New York Times is reporting that Youngkin is using this fall’s upcoming elections as a springboard to national office. He’s convinced that if he can flip the VA legislature to full GOP control, he’ll be in a position to make a credible bid for the presidency, maybe even next year.
Worse yet, a GOP ‘trifecta’ in state government -- meaning Youngkin as Governor, a Republican-controlled Senate, and a Republican-controlled House of Delegates -- would lead to disastrous policies for our Commonwealth.
Youngkin has pledged to pass a Georgia-style voter suppression law that would disproportionately impact communities of color -- and he peddles Trump’s baseless election conspiracy theories and lies.
Youngkin has promised to ban abortion, which would end our status as the only state in the South without an abortion ban.
Youngkin supports prioritizing tax loopholes for massive corporations over lowering costs for Virginia’s middle class.
Youngkin has promised to roll back Medicaid expansion for over 745,000 Virginians, make it easier for criminals to obtain deadly weapons, and halt efforts to combat climate change.
We need to send a strong message that Virginia will remain blue -- even in the face of Glenn Youngkin’s massive campaign war chest. That's why we're pushing so hard to reach our end-of-quarter fundraising goal of $100,000 for Tim Kaine’s re-election campaign by midnight on September 30. Can you pitch in $20 or more right now to help get there?
