Below is a personal message from cybersecurity expert and Veteran Michael Feggans, the Democrat running for a Virginia State House seat that experts believe will decide control of the chamber. Good morning, My name is Michael Feggans. I served in the Air Force for twenty years as a healthcare cybersecurity and information specialist and also led medical evacuations for our injured service members in Operation Enduring Freedom. I’m running as a first-time candidate to flip Virginia’s 97th State House district blue: If we win this race, Democrats are projected to flip the State House blue. So before I tell you more: Can I ask for your help to reach my team’s most important end of month fundraising deadline of our campaign to date? Early voting begins in less than one month for every single one of the 100 Virginia State House seats that are up in November. Mine is one of only four districts that was designated as a total toss-up by election experts. Republicans flipped this district from blue to red in 2021 by 115 votes to flip control of the chamber: And in 2022, Democrats outvoted Republicans by 5 entire points for that year’s U.S. House race in this district. We can win this race but it’s going to be a nail-biter. This race could come down to just a handful of votes. So I’m going to be working tirelessly to win every vote that I can. In a local race like ours, your financial support goes 10-100x further than a race for Congress or statewide office. A donation of $10 might not seem like it can change history: But when a bunch of people give $10, it could decide this race and control of the entire state legislature. And with it, the future of abortion, voting, civil, and LGBTQ+ rights in Virginia.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be immediately processed and split between 314 Action Fund and Michael Feggans.
Very respectfully, Michael
