Finally

Hi John — it’s Hala. We’re kicking off our big weekend of action today to turn out the voters we need to win this primary on Tuesday. But here’s the bad news: Our field team is running out of funds and they need our help ASAP. If we can’t raise $5,000 this weekend, we’ll have to pul…

Please join me in supporting Hala Ayala’s campaign for Lt. Governor

Hi John — Never in Virginia’s 400-year history have we had a woman elected as Lieutenant Governor. It’s time to change that by electing Hala Ayala. When Hala was elected to the House of Delegates in 2017, she got right to work. From introducing and ratifying the Equal Rights Amendme…

Bad news

Bad news, John. We missed our end-of-month goal last night. With the primary just one week away, missing a deadline like this could cost us the election. That’s why we are extending our deadline until tonight at midnight. Will you rush a donation of just $5 to help us catch up on ou…

no big deal

John — In just 10 days, Virginians will decide our Democratic nominee for Lt. Governor. So it’s no surprise Hala’s schedule has been jam-packed — from back-to-back Zoom calls, to speaking with voters across the state, to balancing her work as Chief Deputy Whip in the Virginia House …
