Help Jack Trammell Get Elected by Phone Banking!
A special election is coming this Tuesday, January 7, and there’s an important phone banking opportunity. Jack Trammell would like volunteers to help him win the VA Senate District 10 seat John McGuire vacated when he unfortunately won the 5th District race. Trammel is the Democratic nominee in the special election for the seat (his nomination received strong support from the SD-10 Democratic Nominating Committee).
Note that Senate District 10 covers a lot of our Fifth Congressional District. It borders Charlottesville and Albemarle County, and consists of part or all of the following counties: Amelia, Appomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico (one tiny part), Louisa (Jack’s Home County), Powhatan, and Prince Edward. It includes the more Democratic and populated areas of Ashland, Lake Monticello, and Farmville.
The biggest way to help is to make calls and reach as many voters as possible (some sessions start today!):

Support Dems Candidates in the Jan. 7 Special Elections!
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.
