Critical Special Election on Tuesday in Virginia
Democracy For America
January 7, 2017
Ryant Washington is a progressive champion running for the Virginia State Senate.
If he wins on Tuesday, Democrats will take control of the Virginia State Senate.
It would be a huge blow to Trump and the Republicans.
At a time when Republicans are attacking health care, voting rights, and civil rights, we need to immediately take back control of state legislatures so we can resist Trump and his bigoted agenda.
That's why Ryant Washington's campaign is so important.
Ryant Washington is running a great, people-powered campaign.
He has deep roots in the community and a lifetime of public service.
He'll fight to protect health care and fully fund public schools, both of which are under attack by Trump and the Republican Congress.
In 2009 Republicans began winning these crucial state elections, and used those victories to begin moving the country far to the right.
But we can turn the tables on them.
If progressive Democrats like Ryant Washington win these elections, we'll show that America is ready to rebuild at the state and local level and win against Trump and his party's extremist, hateful agenda.
Tuesday's special election will be a tough race - but with two Republicans and one Democrat on the ballot, it's going to be won by the campaign with the best grassroots turnout operation.
Ryant Washington is doing everything he can to build a strong people-powered campaign.
Now he urgently needs our help in this final weekend before the election.
