Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D. CT) in support of Phil Murphy (D. NJ) & Ralph Northam’s (D. VA) gubernatorial campaigns:
The first two statewide elections of the Trump administration are next Tuesday, and how Democrats perform could change the trajectory of the rest of the president’s first term.
In New Jersey, Phil Murphy is running to replace Chris Christie in a race that would be an important flip for Democrats.
In Virginia, Ralph Northam is running against Ed Gillespie, who has proudly decided to echo Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric to drive up Republican support down the stretch.
Win both of these seats, and we send an unmistakable message to Republicans about the dangers of supporting the Trump agenda. Lose them and it will give Republicans momentum heading into 2018, when we’re on the ballot.
That’s why I have to ask:
Can you split a $5 donation to Phil Murphy and Ralph Northam’s campaigns for Governor so that we can win both of these seats next Tuesday?
These races are an all-hands-on-deck moment for Democrats across the country. Thanks for chipping in.
Every best wish,
Chris Murphy
U.S. Senator, Connecticut
