Rep. Don Beyer here –

You might not know this, but my grandmother, Clara Mortenson Beyer, was a pioneer in labor and workers’ rights, and was instrumental in implementing minimum wage legislation. But now, we’re facing a crisis for working Americans again – and I’m committed to continuing my grandmother’s legacy.

Not only did Governor Youngkin veto a bill that would raise Virginia’s minimum wage to $15, but in the House, we’re fighting to pass bills that would defend workers’ rights to organize, which are being opposed by Speaker Johnson and the MAGA right at every turn.

That’s why I’m emailing you, friend. We have two CRITICAL elections coming up: both this November to determine the fate of the House, Senate, and White House, and then again in 2025 to determine the future of Virginia.

With affordability and income inequality out of control, it’s more important than ever that we elect Democrats to fight for workers and the middle class. Can I count on you to chip in $25 or more to the Virginia Democratic Party to support their work building the groundwork necessary to win in November and beyond!

Thank you for standing with me to ensure we do our part in electing Democrats at every level of government, in every election.

– Rep. Don Beyer
