John,
Just a few years ago, Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill were roommates in Washington, D.C. as freshmen congresswomen. This year, they're both running as their states' official Democratic nominees for governor. They represent the next generation of Democratic leadership, and now that they've made it through their primaries, they need the full support of this community between now and Election Day in November.
In 2018, after Donald Trump's first election made the stakes for our democracy crystal clear, Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill didn't wait to be asked. They came to EMILYs List for support, mapped out their path to leadership, ran for office — and won.
They flipped Republican seats, challenged entrenched power, and helped lead the Democratic wave that took back the U.S. House — not because it was easy, but because it mattered.
Now, they're blazing a new trail. Spanberger and Sherrill are running for governor in Virginia and New Jersey, two critical states where they'll be on the frontlines of the fight against Trump's extremist Republican Party.
These are two of the most closely watched races of the cycle. And they're not just running to win. They're running to make a difference.
