Hi there,

My name is Matt Royer, the former Virginia Young Democrats president. I’m also someone who’s been shaped — just like you — by everything happening in our world right now. Rising costs. Attacks on our freedoms. A democracy under threat. These aren’t abstract issues, friend — they’re happening to us right now, in real time.

That’s why I’m not sitting on the sidelines.

Young people across Virginia are stepping up to organize, run, vote, and lead — not someday, but now. Because we know the future isn’t something we inherit, it’s something we build. Will you pitch in to help Virginia Democrats usher in a new generation of leadership and build a future that works for all of us?

The Democratic Party of Virginia understands this. They aren’t just defending our rights from MAGA extremists — they’re making space for new voices, new leaders, and new energy in our government. DPVA is fighting for the issues that matter to everyone, no matter our age, background, or ZIP code: reproductive freedom, accessible healthcare, affordable housing, and a real shot at a secure future.

We’ve got the momentum and the heart, but we need the resources to match it. With the Governor’s Mansion on the line, and far-right extremists closing in on all sides, we need all the help we can get if we have a shot at rejecting the MAGA agenda in Virginia.

This moment isn’t about waiting our turn. It’s about claiming our future. And with your support, we will. Can you chip in any amount today to empower young people to join the fight and raise a generation of strong Democratic leaders?

Thank you for your support,

Matt Royer
Virginia Young Democrats
