With a little bit of cooler weather on the forecast it’s hard to ignore that fall is almost here. We have just over 6 weeks now until Election Day, and it’s never been more critical that we as Virginia Democrats come together and mobilize.     Friend,   With a …

Youngkin should do his homework

I wasn’t shocked to learn Bert Ellis, Youngkin’s recent appointee to the University of Virginia Board of Visitors, has a history of racism. This is yet another example of Governor Youngkin not doing his homework. We get unqualified, controversial, and in this case disgraceful people put in posi…

Roe v. Wade
