Hi John, it's Lily Franklin. I'm a JanePAC-endorsed candidate running to flip Virginia's 41st District blue. Today, I want to tell you about a number that changed my life: 183.

That's how many votes I lost this race by in 2023. I'll never forget that number because it showed me exactly how much every single voice, every door knock, and every grassroots donation matters. In a race this close, your support can be the difference between winning and losing.

Now, I'm running again to finish what I started. Virginians deserve a leader who will put us first. Our communities are built on grit, resilience, and hard work, but too many families are being left behind while corporations poison our water, contaminate our farmlands, and buy influence to sell us out in Richmond.

So I need your help to cross the finish line this time. Will you make a split contribution — just $10 or $20 — between my campaign and JanePAC? Together, we can flip this district and support other candidates like me who are running to take a stand against the fossil fuel industry.

As a Chief of Staff in the Virginia House of Delegates, I spearheaded meaningful climate legislation, like securing microgrants for farmers and limiting cancer-causing forever chemicals in Roanoke's drinking water.

For too long, I've seen politicians ignore climate change — even as the evidence mounted and the consequences became more severe. Now, we're left to confront the fallout of their devastating inaction for the rest of our lives.

If elected, the inaction ends. I promise to be a relentless fighter for our planet. I'll take on the corporations polluting our communities, push to shut down dangerous pipelines, and lead the charge for clean energy investments that create good-paying jobs right here in Virginia.

But first, we have to flip this seat.

The real battles for climate progress are won or lost in tight races like mine. And with every Virginia House seat on the ballot this November, the stakes couldn't be higher. This race will help decide whether we keep Virginia blue — or hand power back to Republicans.

John, your support today could put us over the edge. Will you make a split contribution between my campaign and the Jane Fonda Climate PAC? Every bit of support matters when races are decided by margins this close.

With gratitude,

Lily Franklin
Candidate for Virginia House of Delegates, District 41
