From Our Albemarle Dems Friends (last newsletter):
If you have any energy left during the year-end break, writing a few postcards for the January 7 special elections could influence the makeup of the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates!
Control of the VA Assembly hinges on two fast-approaching special elections. In both races, Postcards to Voters needs volunteers to write postcards and GOTV for Dems by Dec. 26! Donate and learn more here:
These special elections aren’t just about Virginia, though — they’ll set the tone for the nation in 2025, notes the Democratic Party of Virginia in an email. If we win these races, we’ll be able to keep fighting for working families, reproductive rights, and a stronger democracy. But if we lose, we’ll be giving Republicans a big head start in the next election cycle.
Virginia is the only state in the South with full abortion access and a Democratic firewall against MAGA extremism. The outcome of these elections won’t just affect Virginians but everyone in the South who’s counting on us.
