DEMOCRACY DEFENDER ALERT:

The NDRC just announced 44 endorsements for seats that are up for grabs in Virginia this year. Winning these races is critical to preserving democracy. Rush your donation to support this slate of Democracy Defenders >>

We just announced our slate of 44 candidates we’re supporting for the Virginia House of Delegates this year. These folks represent a firewall against anti-democracy extremists and partisan gerrymandering in a critical battleground state.

The stakes couldn’t be clearer. While Trump and his Republican allies pursue authoritarian policies across the country, these races will determine whether Virginia will have a pro-democracy legislature — and whether we can safeguard fundamental freedoms and democracy for all Virginians.

These 44 Democracy Defenders join our endorsed candidate for governor, Abigail Spanberger, a pro-democracy leader who’s built a career fighting for fundamental rights. 

Put simply: The results this November will reverberate in the 2026 midterm elections and beyond. 

The NDRC is working around the clock to fight for our Democracy Defenders in Virginia, Pennsylvania and across the country. With so much at stake and just weeks to go in this race, will you make a contribution that will help win these key elections and fight for a fairer, stronger democracy?

A key part of this election is Democrats competing in rural areas and smaller communities that too often get overlooked in our politics. That’s because we know that this work isn’t just about this election — investing in pro-democracy candidates helps shift margins, register new voters, and build infrastructure for the long haul. 

We say it all the time, but it’s true: There are no “off” years when it comes to redistricting. That’s why we’re doing everything we can to ensure democracy prevails in Virginia and beyond this election. 

Make a donation right now and help support these Democracy Defenders in these critical November elections.

We’re so grateful for everything you do in this fight.
