Friends, This November, voters all across our Commonwealth will choose Virginia’s next governor. The choice is a stark one, and that’s putting it mildly. On the one hand, the Republican Party’s Trump-backed nominee claims to support working Virginians — nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, that nominee spent his entire career as a vulture capitalist, enriching himself at the expense of American businesses and jobs. He absolutely cannot be trusted with the future of our Commonwealth. Luckily for us, we have a steady, experienced candidate ready to lead from Day One: Terry McAuliffe, Virginia’s 72nd Governor and, with our help, Virginia’s 74th Governor.
Terry has spent his political career working to build a 21st century economy for the Commonwealth that gives every Virginian the opportunity to thrive. In his tenure as Governor, he successfully drove down unemployment, made a $1 billion investment in our education system, brought over 200,000 jobs to Virginia, and raised wages across the state by 13%. And the thing is, he did all of that (from 2014 to 2018) while in constant battle with a Republican-controlled legislature. Just imagine what’s possible if Terry can work hand in hand with his counterparts in the statehouse: a stronger public education system, more accessible and affordable healthcare, cleaner air and water, resources so that our small businesses can rebuild and thrive, and a more just criminal justice system. We can’t allow Republicans to undo the incredible progress we’ve made in the last few years. We need a governor who will not only preserve that progress, but build on it. That’s why I’m proud to support Terry McAuliffe this November. Thanks for your support, Ghazala
