BE AWARE!

Democracy and Justice PAC (also referenced as Justice for Democracy), led by former Republican Delegate A.C. Cordoza, is at it again. I just got a text from them misrepresenting Gov Spenberger trying to get me to vote the wrong way  on the coming redistricting. They are trying to trick people into voting against their interests. 

Text I received is below

This is the same group facing intense backlash for mailing campaign literature opposing Virginia’s April 21 redistricting referendum. The mailers use civil rights imagery and compare the initiative to Jim Crow-era voter suppression, urging recipients to vote “No”.

The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus and other Democratic officials have condemned the mailers, stating the claims that the redistricting effort targets Black Virginians are false.

Abigail Spenberger’s actual statement regarding the redistricting is as follows:

As early voting begins tomorrow on Virginia’s redistricting amendment, voters should know that Virginia’s approach is different. It is temporary, directly responsive to what other states decide to do, and — most importantly, it preserves Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting process for the future.

“I supported the formation of Virginia’s bipartisan redistricting commission in 2020, and that support has not changed. What has changed is what we’re seeing in states across the country — and a President who says he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats before this year’s midterm elections.

“Virginians have the opportunity to take action in response to this extraordinary moment in history. That’s why, as a Virginia voter, I’m voting in favor of this amendment.”
