I want to be honest: we’re worried that we may not hit our next fundraising goal before Monday at midnight.
Mayor Levar Stoney has grassroots support from all across Richmond and here at One Richmond, we’re so appreciative of that. But others, like some members of the Virginia General Assembly, have extreme special interest groups like the NRA lining their pockets. Mayor Stoney will never accept money from a gun interest lobbying group like that -- so we’re counting on our supporters.
Mayor Stoney is proud to work toward One Richmond, a city that works for everyone -- not the NRA. Not all elected officials in Virginia can say the same, which is why it’s so important that we help Mayor Stoney keep fighting.
Just a few weeks ago, the NRA tried to attack Mayor Stoney and say that his leadership was “failing” because he decided to set an example of what common-sense gun regulations can look like. We know they’ll be watching our campaign finance report to see how we do this month -- so we need to pick up the pace.
