An easy choice by DONNA BRAZILE


In just over a week, Virginia voters will head to the polls for Democrats’ first big test since Trump was elected.

They’ll have two choices: They could embrace the Trump agenda by electing Republican Ed Gillespie (who has hired a Trump campaign staffer who thinks we’re 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 Gillespie’s 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 that’s reaching voters in every one of Virginia’s 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 that’s not something we can afford in a TIED race.

This makes DPVA’s 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, I’m 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
