Friend,

VA-05 has long been a Republican stronghold, but Democratic candidate Dr. Cameron Webb could change this in November. Before Dr. Webb won the primary last month, this race was rated as likely Republican. Now we’re building momentum and the rating is shifting in our favor! But the work is just getting started! Will you help to flip this district?

It is vital that Dr. Webb succeeds. VA-05 is an open seat, because the current representative was ousted in a bout of establishment GOP homophobia. Republicans chose Bob Good, a far-right conservative who opposes abortion in all cases, wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic, and opposes common-sense gun reform.

Flipping this district would also make Dr. Webb one of the first Black physicians elected to Congress, a massive accomplishment that should have been reached well before now. His election will be a major victory in the effort to keep a Democratic hold on the House and block Donald Trump’s re-election.

Dr. Cameron Webb is a great candidate, who ran on unity and equity. But winning this seat won’t be easy. Virginia Republicans and the Trump campaign are investing millions of dollars to hold on to this seat. Donate to help Flip the Fifth!

Thank you for your support!
