Virginia’s Republican governor has endorsed plans to threaten abortion doctors with jail time...

The results of this November’s Virginia elections will determine the direction of the commonwealth for years to come – and they’ll certainly have implications for elections throughout 2024.   The results of this November’s elections in Virginia will determine the direction of the commonwealth for years to come – and they’ll certainly have implications for elections throughout 2024.

Virginia Republicans have already rolled back voting rights and proposed a budget that gives the ultra-wealthy a tax break. If the GOP flips the state Senate and defends its control of the state House, abortion rights could be first up on the chopping block. Their far-right governor has already endorsed plans to threaten abortion doctors with jail time – it’s terrible. With so much at stake this year, we can’t lose. This team has stepped up time and time again to power our mission, so we know you’ll come through this year, too. [Chip in $7 to heed President Obama’s call and help Democrats win in states like Virginia. Any amount will make an incredible difference. We mean it →]( For two years, our Democratic majority in the state Senate has blocked much of Virginia Republicans' dangerous agenda, but we could lose a crucial check on the GOP’s power if we are defeated this November. That’s why it means so much to know we have the support of this grassroots team. Thank you for everything.
