Hi John,
Right now, Swing Left volunteers are working hard in Virginia, donating to
our target races, making phone calls, and knocking on doors to connect
with voters before Election Day on November 4th. In this final eight-day
stretch, every conversation with an undecided voter could help tip the
scale in these crucial races.
And with the recent news that Virginia Democrats are advancing a
redistricting effort in response to Republican gerrymanders across the
country, the stakes just got even higher.
If successful, new maps in Virginia could shift two or three additional
House seats to Democrats—countering Republican-drawn gerrymanders in
states like Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina that aim to lock in GOP
control of Congress.
Here’s how it works: redrawing Virginia’s congressional maps mid-decade
requires altering the state constitution. Lawmakers would need to approve
the amendment in two consecutive sessions of the state legislature—once
this year, and again in January after newly elected delegates are sworn
in.
That’s why it’s so important to maintain and expand Democrats’ majority in
the state legislature this year. And just one more reason we’re working to
flip eight competitive House of Delegates seats, alongside supporting
Democratic candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney
general.
Once approved by lawmakers, the redistricting measure would go to Virginia
voters to approve in a special election next year.

Because our goal is always to make sure your time and money go where
they’ll have the greatest impact, we’re focusing fundraising in Virginia
on the races that need it most right now: eight competitive House of
Delegate seats and Jay Jones’s campaign for attorney general.
Your donations will support all of the organizing work we’re doing across
the state, in addition to ensuring Democratic candidates have the
resources they need to get voters to the polls in this final stretch.
So thank you,
John, for anything you can
contribute. As we approach Election Day, every little bit adds up to make
a big difference.
