Hi Herbert,

I’m Shyam Raman, Executive Director of the Democratic Party of Virginia.

I’ll cut right to the chase – Virginia’s statewide elections in November 2025 are deeply important for retaining Democrats’ momentum as we enter a second Trump term. If successful, electing a strong Democratic governor and general assembly would be a key referendum on Trump and the GOP.

Not only that, but we have a responsibility to keep Virginia blue, as we’re the only state in the Southeast without strict restrictions on reproductive care.

We have a critical fundraising deadline coming up at the end of the quarter, and we need to demonstrate we have the grassroots power to fight and WIN. Will you chip in to support the most important election in 2025? Make a split donation between our party and Fight for Progress!

We can be the start of the Democratic comeback if we work together. We cannot stop fighting, and we cannot abandon our deepest-held beliefs: that our nation should be a place where everyone has the tools to succeed and the freedom to choose how to live their lives.

The current administration represents the worst of us. They not only threaten our standing on the world stage but represent a politics driven by fear and hatred of the other.

So please, let’s win a key Democratic win for us in 2025. Chip in to support our work here in Virginia and Fight for Progress ahead of our critical end-of-quarter deadlines to ensure we can rebuild and show that the American voters already reject the GOP’s extremism.

Thank you,
Shyam Raman
Executive Director, Virginia Democratic Party
