MSNBC Opinion:
Democrats must fight for state legislatures: Virginia is on the front line
“Statehouses have become laboratories against democracy.”
|
Team, Virginia’s state legislative races are just a few weeks away – and if Republicans expand their power, they’ll enact their extreme anti-voting, anti-choice agenda and roll back all of our progress.
That’s why the NDRC is proud to endorse 99 Democracy Defenders across Virginia. Will you donate now to help support pro-democracy candidates nationwide?

“State legislatures are critical to protecting democracy and the freedoms that come with it. So when MAGA Republicans in Virginia attempt to roll back fundamental rights – we fight back.”
— A.G. Holder
|
A.G. Holder is right, team – across the country, we’ve seen Republican state lawmakers use their power to implement their anti-democratic agenda of:
❌ Implementing gerrymandered maps
❌ Suppressing voting rights
❌ Restricting abortion rights
❌ Attacking LGBTQ students and families
❌ Banning books
Now, MAGA Republicans have set their sights on taking full control of Virginia’s state government – and multi-millionnaire governor Glenn Youngkin is already investing in competitive districts to help make it happen.
It’s up to us to fight back to protect the future of our democracy – both in Virginia and all across the country. Will you donate now to support the NDRC’s democracy-saving work nationwide?
