Here’s what is at stake:

Control of Virginia’s State Legislature. Currently, Democrats hold a slim 21-19 majority in the state Senate and a 51-49 majority in the state House. A Republican victory in the Senate will allow the GOP lieutenant governor to cast tie-breaking votes, effectively shifting control to Republicans. In the state House, a loss for Democrats would force a power-sharing agreement and lead to a legislative gridlock.
The future of Virginia’s policies on abortion rights, health care, education, and more. If Republicans succeed in holding the Governor’s mansion and flipping the House of Delegates next November, maintaining a “blue wall” in the State Senate will be vital for Democrats to block conservative policy initiatives and protect key legislative priorities. With Democrats currently controlling the VA Senate, maintaining control of the House of Delegates is crucial for Democrats to reestablish a Democratic trifecta with the victory in the governor’s race next year.
A bellwether for 2025. Given its diverse electorate and its influence on national political narratives, the outcome of these races will serve as a bellwether for future electoral shifts across the country.

John, given the high stakes of these elections and their potential to reshape Virginia’s current political landscape, we’re expecting Republicans to invest heavily in these two races.

That’s why we’re asking for your urgent support. If you’re in the place to do so, please split $25.25 or anything you can to elect Kannan and JJ in a few weeks! Early voting starts next weekend!

Thank you,

Sister District
