"The 2022 election doesn't start next summer after the primaries. It started last November." -@HarrisonJaime on our National Strategy Update call. There's still time to join: swingleft.org/live
"The right of the people to choose who represents them is at the core of America's values." Thank you, @HarrisonJaime for your inspiring message. What a way to start off the call!
Last night, Virginia Democrats chose their nominees to #KeepVABlue this fall. Now that the primaries are decided, we’re excited to announce our full slate of supported candidates. You can support them all by donating here: swingleft.org/va-candidates
But first, let’s meet them:
But first, let’s meet them:
Delegate Alex Askew (HD-85) was born and raised in Virginia Beach. He ran to represent his community in the legislature to stand up for the issues that matter most: Affordable health care, quality education, economic opportunities, and a safe environment for all of us. 
Delegate Joshua Cole (HD-28) was first elected in 2019, becoming one of the youngest representatives in Virginia. Since being elected, Delegate Cole has voted to increase access to affordable health care, raise the minimum wage, and make community college tuition free.
We've targeted 6 legislative districts to #KeepVABlue. In 4 of those, we already know who the Democratic candidate will be. Let's meet them: (thread) swingleft.org/p/virginia?utm…
Representing Virginia Beach and House District 85, meet @AlexAskew757. A former Chief of Staff of the VA House of Delegates, Askew was crafting legislation even before he was elected a Delegate himself.
.@JoshuaCole joined the House of Delegates in 2019, representing HD28 in Fredericksburg and Stafford County. In his first term, he has led on issues ranging from infrastructure to criminal justice and beyond.
Virginia's elections for state legislature and governor are our biggest focus for 2021. Why Virginia? Glad you asked. Thread incoming:
1) Virginia votes first. Each cycle, after a presidential or midterm election, the only states that pick their legislators and governor on the "off-year" are Virginia and New Jersey, and NJ is safely blue. We're focused on Virginia.
2) Virginia is a bellwether state, and it has recently been where big election waves for Democrats start. Our victories in 2018 and 2020 each started with big wins in Virginia the year before.
