There's no such thing as an off year, John.

In just 31 days, voters across Virginia will head to the polls for several
critical primary elections.

DFA has currently endorsed 3 candidates statewide and each one of them
will work tirelessly for the communities they serve.

Jennifer Caroll Foy, running for Governor, was born and raised in Virginia
and is no stranger to the challenges that Commonwealth families face. She
is an unrelenting champion for progressive values and used her time in the
state legislature to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, defend reproductive
justice, and fight for criminal justice reforms.

Sam Rasoul, running for Lt. Governor, is the son of immigrant parents,
raised in Roanoke, and is currently in his seventh year serving as a
member of the House of Delegates. Sam’s work in the General Assembly
includes pushing to lower health care costs, fighting for intersectional
justice through a Green New Deal, and taking on corruption in government
by limiting the influence of special interests.

Jay Jones, running for Attorney General, is a lifelong resident of
Virginia and currently serves as a member of the House of Delegates. Jay
has fought to expand access to Medicaid, pushed for climate-focused
environmental regulations, and led the fight to end qualified immunity for
law enforcement officers, end capital punishment, and create a Civil
Rights Division in the Office of the Attorney General.

With just one month until these crucial primaries, the clock is ticking in
the fight to Get Out The Vote but how much we can do for these candidates
really does depend on you. The more resources we have -- the more we can
deliver for our candidates from now until the June 8th primary. Can you
step up for Jennifer, Jay, and Sam right now?

In March of 2013, DFA made a decision to make what was dubbed an
overwhelmingly ‘red’ state, Virginia, the focus of our multi-year,
multi-state, multi-million dollar Purple to Blue campaign to flip
Governors, State Houses, and State Senate Chambers across the country by
the end of 2020.

Then in 2019, six years after our work in Virginia began, after dozens of
endorsement victories and some losses, and over the course of three
election cycles, Democrats controlled all statewide offices and both
chambers of Virginia's General Assembly. That work paid off and Virginia
is still blue today.

That's the deal. Change doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes years of
hard work from DFA members like you to create the change we seek.

That is why I am asking you to join an exclusive group of DFA activists
who are always with us on day one: our monthly supporters also known as
our DFA Defenders.

As a DFA Defender, you will help us lay the groundwork to flip more states
from red to blue as we did with Virginia starting back in 2013.

Your support will build the campaigns we need to flip critical State
Senate and State House races from Republicans-led states nationwide --
because as a DFA Defender, you will power our movement for change.

Whether you contribute $5, $15 (that's the average) or more, monthly
donations of any amount are the backbone of this organization. [ [link removed] ]Become a
