Friend,

Over the weekend Virginia Republicans in the 5th district decided to kick out current Congressman Denver Riggleman and nominate right-wing extremist Bob Good to be on the ticket in November.

This is a big deal. The district was looking competitive even before Good became the nominee. Now, elections experts are predicting his nomination gives Democrats an even better chance to flip the 5th.

Bob Good is a dangerous extremist. His views have no place in Washington, and we can’t let him win in November. To give you just a few examples of how dangerous he is:

• He’s extremely anti-LGBTQ rights. When Good was elected to the Campbell County Board of Supervisors in 2015, he signed a resolution declaring the U.S. Supreme Court “lawless” for legalizing same-sex marriage.
• He’s anti-woman. Good opposes abortion in all cases, even in the case of sexual assault or when the pregnant person’s health is at risk.
• He’s anti-immigrant. He wants to eliminate birthright citizenship, make English the national language, and require all immigrants to learn it -- far-right positions on immigration that would make it even harder for immigrants to make a life in America.

Bob Good is a right-wing extremist who doesn’t belong anywhere near Congress. Can you chip in now so we can make sure a Democrat takes this seat in November?

With Riggleman out of the picture, we have an even better chance in the 5th district. Bob Good doesn't have the name recognition or endorsements that Riggleman did, and his far-right views put him way out of step with a majority of Virginians.

This is still an uphill battle. It’s been over 10 years since a Democrat has won this district. But this year -- with high turnout anticipated, strong Democratic candidates, and a far-right bigot on the Republican side -- is looking like it could be the perfect storm for the Blue Wave to hit VA-5. We’re counting on supporters like you to flip the 5th district this year. Can you donate now so we can make sure Bob Good never gets to Washington?
