Team,

We’re just over two months out from our only race of 2021 – the election for Virginia Attorney General – and the outcome of this race is absolutely critical in 2022 and beyond.

AG Mark Herring has been a progressive champion for Virginia (and our country) on issues ranging from reducing gun violence to student loan relief, but his Republican opponent is threatening to undo years of progress if elected. We can’t afford to let that happen, friend.

AG Herring’s opponent, Jason Miyares, is an NRA-endorsed right-winger whose extremist views are downright disturbing. As a state legislator, Miyares voted against Medicaid expansion, against expanding background checks for gun owners, and against a bill to protect LGBTQIA+ Virginians from discrimination. And what’s more, he’s been supported by the likes of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

This contest is typical of what we’ll see across AG races in 2022 – and it’s critical that AG Herring wins so he can continue delivering on the issues that matter to Virginians. We’re committed to helping reelect AG Herring – can you help chip in $15 today to keep that progress going?

We can’t sacrifice the progress AG Herring has made — most recently, on leading the charge against gun violence with a new program to intervene and protect Virginians using federal relief money.

A future with Miyares as AG would be disastrous: rolling back gun restrictions, undoing protections for LGBTQIA+ Virginians, and restricting access to health care.

What’s more, Miyares believes he has momentum: he’s kicking off a road tour to make his case to Virginians. He thinks he can win this race, so we need to let him know that’s never going to happen.

Virginia is the only Attorney General election we have this year, and we need to send a message to Republican AGs and their allies that effective Democratic leadership is here to stay. Can we count on you to help us stay in the fight with a $15 donation now?

Thanks,

Democratic Attorneys General Association
