A Few Thoughts on This Morning's WaPo/Schar Poll, Which Has Spanberger at 47% Approval-46% Disapproval - Blue Virginia

This morning’s WaPo/Schar school poll about Gov. Abigail Spanberger  – not great results, for sure – is just one survey, of course, so there’s no need to freak out about it. On the other hand, I wouldn’t just write it off as an “outlier” by the “Bezos Post” (which sucks, obviously, but that doesn’t mean […]

Write Letters to Virginia Voters · Vote Forward

Join Vote Forward and volunteers across the country to write letters to voters in Virginia! At the event you’ll learn more about how to get involved with Vote Forward, the Virginia redistricting referendum, and what kinds of messages resonate with voters. On April 21, 2026, Virginia will hold a statewide special referendum in which voters can approve or reject a ballot measure on redistricting. **If passed, the measure would amend the state Constitution to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections.** The measure is intended to counter gains Republicans are making in other states via their own mid-cycle partisan redistricting effort. Crucially, control of the U.S. House in 2026 depends on the outcome of this ballot measure as it directly impacts how many seats will be competitive for Democrats overall. The ballot measure is temporary, ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census. For the Virginia redistricting referendum campaign we’ll be testing a new innovation: **combining civic outreach with access to community support resources.** These letters encourage eligible voters to participate in the referendum while also providing access to a Vote Forward volunteer-run community helpline connecting recipients with charitable and government resources. Recipients can call or text to reach trained Vote Forward volunteers who will: - Express empathy and listen to concerns - Provide referrals to relevant support resources - Encourage civic participation and voting The most common question we receive at Vote Forward is: "what should I write?" This letter writing event is the personalized, in depth answer to that question. Vote Forward staff will help you craft an effective, personal message to voters.Whether you’re writing letters for the first time or you’re an experienced letter writer looking to refine your message, this event is for you!
