It's on to the general election in Virginia, the only AG race of 2021.
Friend – it’s me, David Sanchez.
You may remember when I sent you an email about a day in the life of the Political Team here at DAGA, and how much time I’ve spent working to keep Dem AG Mark Herring in office.
Well I have an update for you: Last night AG Herring won the Democratic primary in Virginia!
Now, it’s on to the general election in just a few months against an extremist Trump-Republican that opposed Medicaid expansion, voted against gun violence prevention laws, and fought to stop common sense criminal justice reform laws from becoming law.

Friend, it’s official:
Dem AG Mark Herring has just won the Democratic Primary in Virginia!
AG Herring is a giant in progressive politics, who has become a national leader on the issues that matter to Virginians and people across our country. That’s why the Washington Post’s Editorial Board said, “No Virginia attorney general in recent memory has made such a positive difference in the lives of ordinary people.”
But here’s the thing: Just months after Trump’s defeat, Republicans are desperate to flip any Democratic seat red. Republicans know that if they win in Virginia, they can gain the momentum they need to win key AG races in 2022. And since Virginia is the only AG race of 2021, they’re willing to do anything to defeat AG Herring.
In 2017, Republicans spent over $7 million to beat Dem AG Herring, and we need to be ready for them to spend even more this year. That’s why we need your help.
We need your help in this fight,
Democratic Attorneys General Association
