People For Member,

Virginia’s race for governor is in trouble.

Recent reports have far-right Trump Republican candidate for governor
Glenn Youngkin polling within the margin of error against Democrat Terry
McAuliffe. We cannot afford to have another Trump surrogate elected to
leadership in the lead-up to the 2022 midterms when the Democratic
majority in Congress is already so slim.

[ [link removed] ]Please RSVP today to help Get Out The Vote in Virginia – virtually! –
before the governor’s race this fall! >>

Throughout the campaign, Youngkin has been simultaneously courting Trump
supporters’ votes and downplaying his endorsement by the
insurrectionist-in-chief. But just this past weekend, Youngkin appeared at
a Liberty University “election integrity” rally to shill Trump’s Big Lie
about the 2020 election.^[1] It’s clear where Youngkin stands – and we
can’t afford to have yet another right-wing governor in office working to
suppress the vote.

We can’t assume that McAuliffe is a shoo-in because of his previous stint
in the governor’s mansion, and we’re worried about a repeat of 2016: We
cannot let progressive voters become complacent.

It’s vital that we have people from across the country involved in this
race, as Virginia is a crucial bellwether state and the state elections
this year will have a serious impact on the 2022 national midterms.

[ [link removed] ]Sign up now for virtual events to get out the vote for Democrat
McAuliffe as Virginia’s next governor! >>

Take action right away to support McAuliffe’s campaign and make sure
Virginians see Youngkin for who he really is: A far-right Trumpist whose
goals have everything to do with gaining power, and nothing to do with
good governance on behalf of all Virginians.

Thank you for fighting with us to keep Virginia blue!

In unity,

Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
