In just over a week, Virginia voters will head to the polls for Democrats first big test since Trump was elected.
Theyll have two choices: They could embrace the Trump agenda by electing Republican Ed Gillespie (who has hired a Trump campaign staffer who thinks were on the brink of a civil war to help him win!).
Or, they could show that Virginia rejects the divisive and hateful Trump agenda and elect Ralph Northam and a slate of Democrats who will boost the economy, protect Virginians rights, and make the Commonwealth an even greater place for everyone to live.
Sounds like an easy choice, right? But my fear is that too many voters will fall for Gillespies attack ads on Ralph. Grassroots supporters like you can stop that from happening by investing in a massive ground campaign -- but you have to help DPVA hit their end-of-month goal by tomorrow.

Gillespie and his buddies may have the TV money, the Trump campaign staff, and the D.C. connections. But we have something much better:
➔ Candidates with name recognition and strong records of fighting for their constituents
➔ A campaign thats reaching voters in every one of Virginias counties
➔ YOU on our side
That third component is the most important. Because even with the best candidates and the best plan, without the resources to execute, Democrats will fall short. And thats not something we can afford in a TIED race.
This makes DPVAs 600-supporter end-of-month goal -- our last one before the election -- even more important. And the deadline is coming up fast. Before it hits, Steven, Im asking you to dig deep and give Democrats the resources to fight in every corner of the Commonwealth and elect the leadership we need. Will you chip in $5 now?
Thank you,
Donna Brazile
