Friend,

Just a few days ago, we told you about Virginia Republican AG Jason Miyares firing Virginia state employees who were working to make progress on critical issues in our justice system and our democracy.

On Sunday it came to light that AG Miyares fired Timothy J. Heaphy, the top lawyer for the University of Virginia and the top staff investigator on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attacks.

Why would any State Attorney General try to use their office in a way that could risk undermining an investigation into a deadly insurrection attempt?!

Less than two weeks in office, AG Miyares is already putting Virginia down the wrong path. We have to be able to fight back against efforts like these and we have to ensure that we don’t lose more Dem AG seats to Republicans like Jason Miyares – please chip in right now if you can >>>

Thanks,
Emily

Subject: 🚨Did you see what Virginia’s new Republican AG just did??

Friend,

Before he was even sworn into office, one of Virginia Republican AG Jason Miyares' first actions was to FIRE 30 PEOPLE AND DECIMATE CRITICAL WORK being done to:

• overturn wrongful convictions,
• protect civil rights and fair elections, and
• fight back against human trafficking, dangerous living conditions, and the opioid crisis.

Friend, there are 30 AG seats up in 2022, and if we don’t protect our sitting Democratic AGs and flip Republican-held seats blue in November, what just happened in Virginia will happen all across the country. Can we count on you to chip in $10 right now so we can ensure Dem AGs are elected – and re-elected – this year?

Now more than ever, we need state attorneys general who are fighting for the people – all people – and ensuring that our fundamental rights are protected and that we have a justice system that works for every person.

We can’t let far-right extremists like the newly sworn-in Republican AG in Virginia dismantle the progress we’ve made, or block the progress we must make now.

Please chip in any amount you can so we can elect and re-elect Dem AGs who will defend our rights.

Thank you,

Democratic Attorneys General Association
