Why Virginia is important
Why Virginia is important
After flipping the House of Delegates in 2023, we must protect our Democratic majority to continue safeguarding democracy, especially with the growing threats coming from the federal government. Keeping our majority ensures that Virginia remains a firewall against right-wing extremism and a leader in expanding opportunity, protecting freedoms, and defending democracy.
With recent Democratic victories in special elections and shifting political momentum in our favor, we are well-positioned to win in key swing districts that will maintain our Democratic control of the legislature. This election is our chance to solidify Virginia as a stronghold for democracy, protect fundamental rights, keep the Commonwealth moving forward, and create palpable momentum for Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections.
In addition to all 100 House of Delegates seats being up for election, Democrats also could take back the executive branch of the Virginia state government! Former Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger is running to be the first female governor of Virginia, while there will be a contested primary on the Republican side between current Lieutenant Governor Earle-Sears and two former state legislative Republicans.
Time for a Repeat!
Sister District Greater Chicago Proud to Support VA Delegate Michael Feggans Again in 2025!
Postcards to voters are back! We've got a new process this year that requires everyone to sign up in advance, and we'll be purchasing and providing the physical postcards (to comply with election laws while protecting your privacy).
If you're interested in writing postcards or hosting a postcard party, please fill out this survey. Responses are due by May 4.
Join us for an evening of stories at Robert's Westside
On May 21, all eyes will be on the tellers taking the stage. On November 5, all eyes will be on Virginia where voters will choose a governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and every member of the House of Delegates. We must hold the fragile one-seat Democratic majority in the state legislature.
Come hear from a roster of gifted tellers including Jitesh Jaggi, a Moth Story Slam winner with a solo show at Steppenwolf last year, and Anne McNamee Keels, a Moth GrandSLAM winner. The evening will benefit our Virginia 2025 candidate, Michael Feggans. Our theme is "A little help from my friends" as we give a little help to our friends in Virginia.
An incredible evening with an incredible impact. $30 suggested donation, with all funds raised going right to our candidate.
Doors open at 6:30. Stories start at 7.
