In one week Virginia voters will go to the polls and select State Senators and Delegates. This is an especially critical election.
House: 67 Republicans vs. 33 Democrats
Senate: 21 Republicans vs. 19 Democrats
Republicans are in the majority in both bodies; a flip of 1 seat in the Senate makes a tie which is broken by the Lt. Gov, Northam (D), giving the Dems effective, if only narrow, control. A Senate majority is achievable this cycle for the Dems; a house majority may take 2 or more cycles.
But we must fight for every seat we can in each cycle.
