Chop Wood, Carry Virginia 5/26

Hey, Virginia,

I hope you’re having a good Memorial weekend. In honor of those who have given their lives for our Democracy, today’s a great day to commit to continuing the fight through political action. It’s time to get ready for a season of primaries and elections, starting with Virginia! The primaries are just a few weeks away.

My friends at Center for Common Ground have it totally dialed in so I’m sharing this with you and hope you will find some time to dive in.

The time has come for action. The Virginia Primary for statewide races is just ahead on June 17, offering us a pivotal moment to redefine the future of Virginia elections and the midterms next year.

History shows that over 75% of primary voters return for the general election. By engaging these voters now, we lay the foundation for sustained participation and lasting change.
