People For Member,

The upcoming statewide election in Virginia is likely to have major
implications for the national midterms that are right around the corner.
Often viewed as a bellwether to the national political climate, Virginia
has been crucial in proving the popularity of progressive policies and the
national shift towards a more progressive electorate.

This year, the Republican candidate for governor is a Trump idolizer, who
despite his seemingly moderate campaign pledges, has proven to be really
nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Someone who would advocate
for a far-right and regressive agenda if elected - such as his strong
anti-choice views, opposition to gun safety reforms, opposition to
common-sense COVID safety measures, and more.^[1][2]

Voter turnout is going to be crucial in the Virginia election and People
For is proud to once again be partnering with our friends at Vote Forward
for a unique letter-writing Get Out the Vote campaign.

[ [link removed] ]Sign up now to participate in the September 1, “World Letter Writing
Day” campaign! Over 90,000 voters still haven’t been claimed, so join us
in making sure each one of them gets a personal letter encouraging them to
vote in the election! >>

If recent polling is any indication, it’s this kind of voter outreach
that’s going to be CRUCIAL to progressive victories up and down the
ballot. Currently in the race for governor, the Democrat is leading by a
margin of just 5%, well within the margin of error, with over 20% of
voters undecided.^[3]

By signing up today to write letters you can help increase turnout among
voters in underrepresented communities whose voices are often missing at
the ballot box but are necessary to ensuring we have a more robust
representative democracy.

[ [link removed] ]There are just 19 days until letters need to be mailed if they are
going to make it on-time. Please sign-up today and join us in
participating in this unique opportunity! >>

Virginia is a shining example for the rest of the country of the successes
a state can attain by electing progressive leadership, and this year it’s
vital that we protect and build on our recent gains. We’re so proud of the
work that we and our members have done over several election cycles to
expand the electoral map in this critically important bellwether state,
and we hope you’ll join us for the next stage of this fight.

Thanks for all that you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
