Hi, it’s Ghazala Hashmi, Democrat running for Virginia Lieutenant Governor.
Here’s the unfortunate truth: I get xenophobic hate mail multiple times a week. Just last week, someone emailed this to me:
“I have a quick question looking at your picture and your name. I am wondering if you are an American citizen…”
It’s ridiculous, and it’s racist, and I shouldn’t even have to dignify it with a response. But this is also exactly why I got into politics.
When I first ran for office in 2019, I ran to prove that Ghazala Hashmi is an American name .
And you know what happened? Virginians had my back, and we did the impossible. We flipped a Republican seat in the heart of the former Confederacy, and we proved that Ghazala Hashmi is an American name.
Now, as children and communities are targeted and attacked because of their religion, ethnicity, and the color of their skin, I know how important it is to stand up to bigotry and hate.
If you’re with me, please contribute to my campaign to prove – once and for all – that all are welcome here in Virginia, that Ghazala Hashmi is an American name, and that Virginia has no room for xenophobia. [[link removed]]

Thank you for having my back. Your support gives hope to others that America is better than the darkest impulses of those that want to divide us. I know that together, we will make a change.
With gratitude,
Ghazala Hashmi
