There is a special election on January 10th for
Virginia State offices. Yep,
that's just 3 weeks away!
Cheryl Turpin is running in Virginia Beach (HD-85).
And Ryant Washington is running in Lynchburg (SD-22).
Jennifer McClellan is running in Richmond (SD-9)
What you need to
know:
Virginia has been so gerrymandered that the districts do not
reflect the demographics of the state. Meaning there are more Democrats
in the state than Republicans but the Republicans take so many of the elections
because of gerrymandering. In fact it is so bad that there is a lawsuit
going before the Supreme Court in March about VA gerrymandering and
disenfranchising voters. In the meantime there is this election.
It is going to take a lot of our help but we need to make phone
calls and donate to the democrats who are running for VA state offices.
This is how we begin to build a 50 state blue path.
What you can do:
You can donate to all three candidates by going HERE.
Consider phone banking. Did
you know you can virtual phone bank from your home? Reach out to the campaigns and tell them you
will virtual phone bank for them. They
will send you the link.
Friend their campaigns on FB and share updates.
Reach out to your friends in Virginia and inform them that you know
about the Special Election in VA on January 10th. Tell them that you donated to the
candidates. Do you know what kind of
influence you will have living in another state calling or emailing your VA
friend and telling them, “I’m so invested in your state’s campaign I donated
and I’m virtual phone calling.” Your
passion will ignite your VA friends.
By doing these actions we can get real BLUE action
within
the first ten days of 2017!
