Democratic National Committee, July 19, 2025

Posted on July 19, 2025

Earlier this week, we announced an initial $1.5 million investment into the Virginia Democratic Coordinated Campaign to win up and down the ballot this November and next.

This is one of the largest and earliest initial investments the DNC has ever made to the Virginia Democratic Coordinated Campaign in an off-year election cycle.

Specifically, this investment will:

  • Help the Virginia coordinated campaign to continue to hire organizers and other key staff in order to talk to voters early and often.
  • Fund early persuasion programs to ensure that voters know the stakes of these elections and the differences between the candidates.
  • Test new tactics and tools to ensure our message is resonating with voters across the commonwealth.
  • Expand our reach to key constituencies that we lost ground with in the November 2024 elections — such as Black, Latino, and AANHPI voters.

Thousands of grassroots supporters just like you made this investment possible with their contributions, and today we’re going to ask you to join them by making a $10 contribution to support our organizing efforts in Virginia and beyond.

Republicans know that they will need to fight hard to win these races. Their gubernatorial candidate in Virginia already announced a seven-figure advertising plan to target Virginia voters — and it’s clear that Republicans will spare no expense when it comes to keeping Virginia in Republican hands. They aren’t backing down, but neither are we.

Your $10 contribution to the DNC today would help fund our organizing efforts in Virginia and beyond — to show Republicans that there is real grassroots opposition to their agenda. So we’re asking: Can you make a contribution today?

DONATE $10
DONATE $25
DONATE $50
DONATE $100
DONATE $250
OTHER AMOUNT

With your contribution, as well as the contributions of so many other grassroots supporters, we can do what we need to do to support Democrats like Abigail Spanberger as they take on their MAGA opponents.

Thank you for your support,

The Democrats

    Update! The host location has developed Strep Throat, so in an abundance of caution, we're going to revert to the Pasco Round Table location. Sorry about the late notice! We do still plan to have our presenter from Save Our Wild Salmon.

    As usual at the pizza location, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    We have scheduled the 'Save our Wild Salmon' group to come talk to us about the Snake River Dams and we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available.

    April 11, 2026  9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
    Columbia Basin College Gjerde Center 2600 N. 20th Ave., Pasco, WA 99301

    Residents of Washington’s 8th Legislative District are invited to attend a town hall meeting with their state lawmakers on Saturday, April 11. Sen. Matt Boehnke, R-Kennewick, Rep. Stephanie Barnard, R-Pasco, and Rep. April Connors, R-Kennewick, will provide an overview of the 2026 legislative session and take questions from attendees.

    The meeting will cover key issues, including passage of a new state income tax, capital budget investments, the lawmakers’ opposition to the state’s proposal to site a home for sexually violent predators in Kennewick, and legislation that passed or failed during the 60-day session.

    Constituents are encouraged to attend, ask questions and share their perspectives on issues affecting their families and communities.

    “We’re looking forward to meeting with constituents, answering questions about the 2026 session, hearing directly about the concerns they want addressed, and discussing how decisions made by the Legislature will affect our district now and in the future,” the lawmakers said.

    Does the current water crisis in the Colorado River basin predict the future for Eastern Washington rivers?

    REGISTER HERE

    Most experts agree that how our principal river systems are managed will tell the story. Water is essential for continued growth and economic success for the region, which is entering its third consecutive drought year. Reservoir storage in the Cascades is far below average with little sign of recovery.

    The federal Bureau of Reclamation's latest water supply forecast says that irrigators in the Yakima Basin may receive less than half of their full entitlement this year. And it's not just Washington's eighty-billion-dollar agriculture industry that depends on water. The rivers provide water for our cities and industry, generate electricity, move all manner of commodities, and provide for our unique quality of life.
