Dear ,
The elections on Tuesday across the country were a solid repudiation of the far-left's agenda. In Virginia, the Democrats' candidate, Terry McAuliffe, had campaigned with the president of the American Federation of Teachers union, and had even told voters that parents had no role to play in the selection of school curriculum. Voters wisely chose Glenn Youngkin, whose campaign focused on building back the economy, stopping the Biden socialist agenda, and empowering parents to play a vital role in their children's education.
Elsewhere, across the nation, progressives suffered humiliating defeats, as Seattle rejected a "defund the police" mayoral candidate, and Minneapolis rejected a ballot initiative to eliminate the police department.
These wins show that Americans -- even in some of the deepest blue areas of the country -- remain committed to law and order and to the commonsense and pro-growth economic policies that have made America great throughout our nation's history.
