Win Virginia on the Road to 2026
The stakes are high. The races will be close. Democrats hold only a one-seat majority in Virginia’s House, and while US Representative Abigail Spanberger is sure to wage a strong campaign for Governor, success is by no means certain. Join us by Zoom to hear from Congresswoman Spanberger, a panel of legislative candidates, and CASA, a grassroots group essential to turning out the vote. There will also be an opportunity to donate. Winning Virginia this year is a key act of resistance, and is critical in the fight for our democracy.
