Received this e-mail last night from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D. OH) in support of Terry McAuliffe’s (D. VA) gubernatorial campaign:
We can advance our values by electing progressive champions up and down the ballot and across the country -- in less than a month, we have an opportunity to do just that by sending Terry McAuliffe to the governor’s office in Virginia.
Early voting has started in Virginia, and everyone will be watching this race as we head into 2022. Terry’s campaign is running a strong outreach program to turn out voters to the polls, but it’s going to require serious financial resources to keep it running at full force in this final stretch before Election Day.
Will you split a contribution between Terry’s campaign and mine before the Virginia gubernatorial election on November 2nd?
Terry is counting on a swell of grassroots support, because he’s up against a wealthy opponent who has a fundraising lead thanks to $12 MILLION in loans from his own bank account. With the support of a massive war chest, Terry’s opponent has been able to launch ugly attack ads.
Terry’s opponent also has the support of Donald Trump. The GOP candidate is still perpetuating Trump’s big lie of 2020 election fraud to stay in Trump’s good graces.
Virginia’s governor’s race is going to be close. Cook Political Report rates it as a toss up, and polls show it’s a virtual tie. Terry is going to need grassroots support from now until Election Day to bring this home. Please consider splitting a contribution between our campaigns today.
With gratitude,
Sherrod

Stacey Abrams organization, Fair Fight, is helping boost voter turnout in Virginia. Received this e-mail yesterday from Fair Fight:
Only THREE WEEKS remain until Election Day and Virginia Democrats urgently need your help to keep Virginia blue! In 2017, Republicans took control of the House by a single vote. Can you sign up today to help voters who need to fix their mail ballot so that it can count—all from the comfort of your couch?
The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General and the entire House of Delegates are on the ballot.That's why we need you to make sure if someone has their mail ballot rejected, they get the chance to fix it right away.
This year, House races will be razor thin, and the Governor’s race is a toss-up— with an anti-voting, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist on the ballot.
At a time when our democracy hangs in the balance as GOP-controlled states push hundreds of anti-voter bills and try to sabotage our elections, Virginia achieved incredible victories under unified Democratic control—like expanding Medicaid and enacting an omnibus pro-voter law.
Now, the Virginia Democrats need your help to defend the majority, protect that progress, and send a strong message to the country: 2020 was just the beginning—we're still fired up and ready to go!
Can we count on you to join these opportunities from the Virginia Democrats?
