DONATE When We Have the Numbers, Democrats Deliver We’re proud of the work Democrats have accomplished in Virginia including expanding access to healthcare and collective bargaining rights, raising the minimum wage, expanding voting rights, and promoting common sense gun safety. We must continue to elect more Democrats for real progress on climate change, infrastructure, and democracy and human rights. Electing more Democrats will help deliver a stronger and fairer economy that working families need to survive and thrive. We are writing to ask for your support of our Democratic grassroots efforts. Through a broad list of small donors, we’re building a Democratic Party that is open and welcoming to everyone. Together, these donations will underwrite our campaign literature, social media advertising, and other critical campaign infrastructure. The average contribution in recent years has been $50 dollars. We are deeply thankful for any amount you give. Please give as generously as you can.
