Friend,

This is Shyam, the Executive Director of the Virginia Democratic Party.

I know you hear a lot about battleground states. But let me be clear: Virginia isn’t just any battleground – it’s the battleground for Democrats in 2025.

Republicans know it too. The GOP has its sights set on flipping Virginia red, hoping to use our elections to reaffirm a MAGA mandate from voters. This is the Democrats' chance to show that we’re building momentum after 2024 and that voters are aligned with our vision for the country more so than the extreme rhetoric coming from the GOP.

But, team, we can’t do this alone. We need to not only fight the GOP agenda NOW and prepare to win in November. That’s why I’m asking you to consider making a split donation today between our party and Gerry Connolly. [[link removed]]

This is our nation’s first opportunity to send a stark referendum to the Trump administration’s chaos, corruption, and blatant attacks on our democracy. If we let the GOP flip Virginia red, it will send dangerous shockwaves into 2026 and 2028.

Even right now, Elon Musk is strong-arming our electoral system by funding far-right extremist lawmakers and gutting federal agencies that are integral to the state of Virginia. Just recently, several federal employees were fired from their jobs protecting and preserving Shenandoah National Park – a source of pride for all Americans, let alone Virginians.

That’s why this election matters. The Democratic Party of Virginia is working around the clock to protect Virginians, defend our values, and show the country that Democrats can and will win tough fights. Gerry Connolly has been on the frontlines of this battle in Congress, and together, we’re asking if you’ll join us.

Can you split a donation between DPVA and Gerry Connolly today to fight back against Trump, Musk, and the GOP’s extremist agenda? [[link removed]]

Virginia is our first big test of this new era of politics. Let’s make sure we pass it.

Thank you,

Shyam Raman
