We did it!

Governor Youngkin and Virginia Republicans did everything they could to take total control of state government, but the people of the Commonwealth rejected them. Even with tens of millions spent and after every attempt to suppress the vote, there was no way for Republicans to sell Virginians on …

Tonight at midnight marks our last major fundraising deadline before Election Day. Every dollar we raise will help increase the odds that Virginia Democrats come out ahead. Every dollar we raise makes it harder for MAGA extremists to legislate an abortion ban and dismantle gun safety measures. W…

Virginia abortion ban

Virginians will soon cast their ballots in one of the most important elections in the country this year. Virginia is the ONLY southern state that hasn’t banned abortion since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — and that will change if Republicans take control of the state legislature on N…
