FW: What we are up against this time

  John, This morning, a State Senator launched her campaign against Abigail on local radio. She spouted off right-wing talking points and hit Abigail with standard fare attacks, but she isn’t just any candidate. She’s an elected official in our district with an extreme voting record, an…

not the email I was hoping to send

  John, Watching the election results roll in here in Virginia Tuesday night was humbling. Republicans won big, and now pundits are pontificating about what it means for races like ours in 2022. This is a wake-up call. 2022 is shaping up to be the biggest challenge we’ve fa…
