John,

Last month’s election result may not have been the outcome we fought for, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet. Instead, I’m focused on fighting for our Democratic values in any way I can.

Jen Kiggans' victory means there will be a special election to fill her state Senate seat in just a few weeks. This is a critical opportunity to flip a seat blue and elect a champion for Virginian families.

That’s why I’m proud to endorse my good friend, Democrat Aaron Rouse, for State Senate. Aaron's an award-winning community leader, nonprofit founder, city councilman, and a true exemplar of public service.

But John, I need your help to make sure Aaron has the best possible chance in this battleground race. Will you help elect Aaron Rouse for Virginia Senate on January 10th by making a $25 donation to the Defense Dem PAC today?

The Virginia State Senate is a crucial check on the power of Republicans in Richmond. With the GOP attacking everything from reproductive rights to climate action to gun violence prevention, we need our Democratic majority more than ever.

Democrats currently only hold a narrow three-seat majority. If we’re going to defend our values in Richmond, we can’t afford to lose this opportunity to flip a red seat blue.

So please, will you make a donation right now to Defense Dem PAC to defend our Democratic values?

With so much gratitude,
Elaine Luria
