Hey John, I’m reaching out to you because what’s happening right now with redistricting demands our attention — and our action.
We’ve seen this playbook before. In my home state of Texas, Trump and Greg Abbott rammed through a gerrymandered congressional map that attempts to steal five Democratic seats. And it didn’t stop there.
Trump knows how deeply unpopular his agenda is. He knows that this means he’s going to lose his majority in the House of Representatives. And he knows that when he does, there will finally be a check on his lawlessness, accountability for his crimes and corruption, and real hope for a better future for this country.
But instead of changing course, he’s trying to cling to power by rigging the system itself. That’s what these attacks on free and fair elections are really about.
Across the country, Trump’s Republicans are trying to choose their voters instead of the other way around. We can’t stand by while that happens.
That’s why Virginia matters so much right now.
Virginians for Fair Elections is leading the fight to level the playing field by advancing a temporary, emergency redistricting amendment — one that puts voters first and gives the people of Virginia the final say.
This amendment would allow for updated congressional maps for the upcoming elections, and Virginians will be able to see the proposed maps for themselves before casting a vote.
This is what democracy should look like.
That’s why I’m asking you to stand with me and support Virginians for Fair Elections today. A split contribution of any amount right now will help fuel the organizing and outreach needed to pass this critical amendment and protect fair representation.
Thank you for stepping up.
