Received this e-mail today from former Governor Terry McAuliffe (D. VA) in support of these Virginia Democrats:
Most of this year's primary elections are behind us, and across the country, Democrats now have the strongest chances ever to win in November because of our expanded field operations.
Virginia is no exception.
Three inspiring women running in crucial Red to Blue Congressional races in Virginia need our help. They came out on top following the Virginia primaries, and now their races are more winnable than ever.
Taking back the House starts with electing these women. We’re looking to raise $10,000 this week for these top-tier candidates so they have the resources they need to immediately ramp up their voter outreach.
Elaine Luria served 20 years in the Navy as a nuclear trained Surface Warfare Officer before starting a family business. She is running in the 2nd district and is committed to uplifting an economy that works for everyone.
Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA Operations Officer, was determined to run in Virginia’s 7th district after watching the House vote to gut our healthcare. She believes all Virginians deserve an accountable voice in Congress who serves them instead of special interests.
State Senator Jennifer Wexton, who led the charge on expanding Medicaid for families in Virginia, is challenging Barbara Comstock in the 10th district because she believes healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
Democrats can take back the House this year, but only if we stand together. Help me raise $10,000 for these top-tier candidates and show our grassroots strength is stronger than the GOP’s dark money machine.
The path to victory in each of these races is highly competitive, so we must keep our edge. Elaine, Abigail and Jennifer’s opponents are flush with dark money from special interests trying to flood the airwaves with misinformation between now and November. That’s why I’m asking you to chip in before this weekend so we can outraise, out-organize and WIN.
Thank you for helping us turn Virginia blue.
Terry
