We understand that times are tough for many of you, and that everyone has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Please only give if you can; your health and safety are the most important thing right now.

Friends,

Republicans are lining up to replace Democratic incumbents across the Commonwealth -- and it’s not a pretty sight. What's scarier still, is that the GOP and private donors are pouring in funds to help them win. If we don’t want them to succeed, we need to step up our efforts now to keep the strong leaders we have in office.

If you can, will you chip in before our end-of-month deadline at midnight to help us fight back against the Virginia GOP and keep strong Democrats in office?

Take a look at these GOP contenders:

First, you’ve got Nick Frietas and John McGuire who are both looking to replace Representative Abigail Spanberger in the U.S. House of Representatives. They’re not just competing with each other for the GOP nomination, they’re also competing to be the most ineffective Virginia legislator: Frietas has passed a grand total of 0 bills this year, and McGuire has actually tried to move Virginia backwards by voting against Medicaid expansion in 2018 and against the Equal Rights Amendment this year.

Then, you’ve got Amanda Chase -- a right-wing extremist who recently announced her candidacy for Virginia governor next year. As a state legislator, she’s claimed that rape victims are attacked because they are “naive and unprepared” and has openly carried a gun onto the Virginia Senate floor to act as a “deterrent for over-exuberant” Senate colleagues.

And don’t forget about Scott Taylor, who’s looking to unseat Representative Elaine Luria in Congress. Here's the thing: The people of Virginia voted him out of the House of Representatives just two years ago and replaced him with Elaine Luria. He obviously hasn't accepted that Virginians don’t want a Trump rubber stamp representing them in Washington.

Friends, these candidates are serious about reclaiming Virginia for the GOP. If we want to keep Virginia blue and moving forward, we all have to do our part.

Will you make a donation before midnight so we can meet our end-of-month goal and make sure we keep Democrats who are fighting for us in office?
