The most flippable House seat in America

Hi, I’m Elaine Luria, and I’m the official Democratic nominee for Virginia’s 2nd District. Team, now that the primary is behind us, I want to be straight with you about where this race stands. VA-02 is rated a Toss-Up by both the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball. And a recent in…

our race to flip the House

Last week, you helped make me the Democratic nominee to flip VA-01 blue. Now, the work begins. As Henrico County’s top prosecutor, I’ve spent years making the case in courtrooms to protect our communities and hold bad actors accountable. But Rob Wittman is not just any opponent. He was just na…

We won.

We won. I am the official Democratic nominee for Governor of Wisconsin. And this victory was not inevitable. Most of the political world had counted us out when we were trailing by double digits in the polls. But just like working people across our state, we didn’t give up. Well, the votes …

7 years ago, my life changed forever

7 years ago, Trump made the phone call that forever altered the lives of my twin brother and me. On that day, my brother, Alexander Vindman, listened as President Trump attempted to extort our ally, Ukraine, by withholding military aid unless President Zelenskyy investigated Joe Biden. At the …

We can’t take our foot off the gas

Folks, I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Virginia. Now, the general election in Virginia is underway, and we have just 88 days to earn every vote possible. That’s why my campaign is launching our General Election Fund Goal. We’ve set a goal of earning 5,000 gra…

What's at stake this November

Hi friend, Virginia has multiple congressional races that will be among the most competitive in the country this fall. Shannon Taylor, Elaine Luria, Tom Perriello, Beth Macy, and Joy Powers are on the ballot – and winning their seats will not be easy. I know that firsthand. In 2018, I flipp…

I hope you’ll let me take a moment to explain

This is a longer message than I usually send.

the wins you didn't hear about

Hi friend, Some of the most important work we've done in Richmond this year never made the front page. You probably heard about the assault weapons ban. You may have seen the news about paid sick leave or insulin costs. Those are real wins, and I'm proud of them. But there's a lot more that…

Virginia is a top 3 best state for business

Taking back the House

My name is Tom Perriello, and I’m running for Congress to flip Virginia’s 5th District. The Virginia Supreme Court failed its oath, but that is not going to stop Virginia voters from being heard. I am the only Democrat to have flipped Virginia’s Fifth in a generation, and we will do it again this…

Virginia isn't waiting on Washington

Hi friend, Energy costs were already hard to manage for too many Virginia families, and then the President's reckless trade war made things worse. Virginia isn't waiting on Washington to fix it. Since taking office, I’ve signed over a dozen bills to bring energy costs down. We rejoined t…

President Trump made a choice. We're responding.

Is there anything I can say to convince you to split a donation to my Senate campaign and Abigail Spanberger's United for Virginia's Future PAC today? What if I told you that a recent poll shows me 1 point down in this race? What if I told you that experts at The Cook Political Report just moved O…

what it means to be a Virginian today
