Friend,

In what will be one of the most important elections this year, all eyes
are on Virginia as polling in the Virginia gubernatorial election
continues to show razor thin margins between Democratic candidate Terry
McAuliffe and Trump-endorsed, far-right candidate Glenn Youngkin.

And new reporting out from People For’s Right Wing Watch demonstrates that
Youngkin is just as extreme as Trump and others on the far-right – despite
his attempts to portray himself as a more moderate candidate.

Last week, Glenn Youngkin spoke at an anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ conference,
and just this past Friday spoke at the right-wing Family Research Council
– an organization whose anti-LGBTQ extremism has led to its designation as
a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.^[ [link removed] ][ [link removed] ]

Glenn Youngkin’s extremism stands at stark opposition to the values of
Virginia voters, but unless we’re able to increase voter turnout in the
upcoming election, he has a chance of beating Terry McAuliffe!

[1]Sign up now to help get out the vote in Virginia by calling or texting
voters – the election is just a few weeks away! >>

If progressives lose in the all-important Virginia election, it will only
embolden other far-right candidates across the country as we rapidly
approach the mid-term elections just next year.

Virginia has been 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.

[2]Don’t miss out on this opportunity to preserve the progressive
victories we’ve had over the last couple of years by allowing a far-right
takeover of the state – please sign up now >>

Thanks for all you do,

Zach, People For the American Way
