Support Virginia Legislative Races
 Jessica Anderson- Jessica Anderson is running again for the seat in District 71 after a narrow defeat in 2023. - Her district includes Williamsburg and the surrounding areas, an area Democrats carried by 5% in 2024. - Jessica is a lifelong Virginian focused on advocating for her community to meet their needs. Her main policy priorities include supporting reproductive freedoms, public education, family care policies, gun safety, and environmental reforms. |  Leslie Mehta- Leslie Mehta, currently the interim CEO of the National Rett Syndrome Foundation, is running to flip Chesterfield County’s District 73 seat. - In 2024, Leslie ran an admirable campaign for Congress in Virginia’s 1st Congressional District to unseat Republican Rep. Rob Wittman. - Her platform is focused on protecting reproductive freedom, building up the middle class, and pushing for common-sense bipartisan leadership. |  Virgil Thornton Sr.- Virgil Thornton Sr. is a lifelong Virginian looking to flip the District 86 seat covering Hampton, Poquoson, and part of York County. - Democrats narrowly carried the area in 2024. Virgil needs our help to turn this tight race into a victory. - Virgil is an entrepreneur and former electrical nuclear test technician who is running to advocate for funding Virginia public schools, providing access to quality healthcare, and economic policies that ensuring hard work leads to real prosperity. |

 Lindsey Dougherty- Lindsey Dougherty is running to ensure residents in District 75 have a voice. - Democrats carried District 75, which includes Hopewell and parts of Prince George and Chesterfield, by an average of 8 points in 2024. - Her platform focuses on making education more accessible, creating better paying jobs, building healthy and safe communities, and promoting civic engagement and civil rights. |  Karen Carnegie- Karen Carnegie is running to flip Virginia’s District 89 seat, which includes parts of Chesapeake and Suffolk. - This seat is historically competitive and should come down to a small margin of votes. Harris won the district by 3% in 2024 after Republicans won the seat by less than 2% in 2023. With our help, Karen can turn this seat blue! - Karen is a lifelong resident of Chesapeake running to lower costs for working families, strengthen our schools, and create safer neighborhoods. |
31st Street is pounding the pavement raising money to help Virginia Democrats grow their majority to pass more progressive legislation.
​
Maintaining and growing the Democratic majority will help the Virginia Legislature codify 3 constitutional amendments on Reproductive Rights, Voting Rights, and Marriage Equality. These races need money EARLY to launch successful campaigns.​​
Supporting these campaigns will help turn out votes for Abigail Spanberger and other statewide races and send a resounding anti-MAGA message across the country!
