Hi John xxxxxx,

READ THIS PART FIRST: Virginia’s primary is happening THIS TUESDAY and, while we understand the instinct to sit out of primaries, we think there’s one primary in particular that you might want to take a look at. ↓

Ghazala Hashmi is the ONLY woman running against five (!!) men in the primary election for Lt. Governor of Virginia – which is happening in a matter of DAYS. She is also the most experienced legislator in her race. We have been proud to support her in this important fight.

When she first ran for office, she surprised political pundits by winning over more voters than the hand-picked candidate for the Democratic nomination. She then went on to win the general election by TEN points in a district that had been represented by a Republican for decades. As a result, Democrats gained a critical one-seat majority in the state government, and Hashmi was able to cast a tie-breaking vote to protect abortion rights.

Senator Hashmi has released a TV ad – and she needs our help to keep it up on the air! For just $25, you can make sure 1,000 Virginia voters see this commercial. This is one of the best opportunities we’ve ever seen to help a candidate spread her message! Chip in a split $25 contribution today to help thousands of voters learn about Ghazala Hashmi and this major primary election before June 17th!

Hashmi was motivated to run for office initially in opposition to Trump, and has challenged the Trump and Youngkin agenda in the General Assembly ever since.

If she wins the primary election, Hashmi’s opponent will be extremist Republican talk-radio host, John Reid. His campaign website features MAGA-inspired rhetoric, how he wants to “free education from leftist indoctrination,” and stop “wokeness.”

His website states, “John Reid is pro life and has boldly spoken out on TV, radio, and in his personal testimony against the Democrats new radical unlimited any time-any place, day of birth abortion proposals.”

**In case you were wondering, no one is proposing “any time-any place, day of birth” abortions… His accusations are dangerous, untrue, and offensive to pro-choice Americans.

Virginia is a competitive swing state – and, despite his intentionally misleading claims and radical ideologies, Reid actually has a chance of winning this race. The current Lt. Governor has gone on record blaming rape and incest victims for getting pregnant in the first place…

Hashmi has taken on the MAGA agenda before, and now she’s ready to do it again as Lieutenant Governor. Help ensure her TV ad can reach as many voters as possible before her primary election on TUESDAY by rushing a split contribution of $25 or more today →

Together,
