John,

We'll cut to the chase. Three things you need to know:

• The Election for VA-11 on September 9 is Trump's first big challenge since his disastrous bill
• Republicans are poised to dump money on us in the final few days of this race
• We need your help to keep this district blue and take our first step to taking back the House in 2026!

So, will you do your part to ensure Democrat James Walkinshaw wins in just a few short days? Make a split donation between James and Democracy Defense Action today!

The Republican running to flip this district red is an architect and cheerleader for Trump's DOGE purge — the plan that fired federal workers, slashed international aid, and pulled the plug on medical research.

James has already proven he can take on MAGA extremism:

He passed sweeping gun safety reforms, even after the NRA tried to stop him.

He fought back when Trump's enforcers tried to force Fairfax into mass deportations.

And when Stephen Miller threatened to jail him, James stood his ground.

Now, Republicans are desperate to flip this seat — and they'll stop at nothing.

That's why we've set a goal: raise $10,000 today to stay on pace. Will you help by making a split donation between James Walkinshaw and Democracy Defense Action?
