"If we flip several more legislatures and pass pro-choice constitutional amendments and voter protection legislation at the state level, we will improve the lives of tens of millions of Americans". The first contest of 2023 is a State Senate seat in Virginia. Support Virginia Beach City Councilor Aaron Rouse. He can flip a Virginia State Senate seat on January 10. https://rouseforsenate.com.

Thank you, Robert, for another educational, inspirational, and enlightening newsletter. I want to remind everyone there are things you can do every day to bolster democracy. Case in point. postcards to voters has a new campaign for Democrat Aaron Rouse in VA for the special election for the 7th State Senate district seat on January 10, 2023. Sign up at www.postcardstovoters.org.

The opponent in this Special Election Republican Kevin Adams, who says he supports Gov. Glenn Youngkin's agenda. In other words, Adams supports weakening public education funding, demonizing LGBTQ kids, erasing the history of African Americans, harming the environment, pushing to roll back the tremendous progress made on switching from fossil fuels to clean energy, restricting voting rights, and of course depriving women of their rights to make crucial decisions about their own bodies.
