As usual the party of the rich, Democrats, is out raising
Republicans in the commonwealth election scheduled for November 7th. The September financial reports for all candidates and committees can be found here. If things don’t turn around in the next three weeks we will have a difficult time flipping the State Senate and keeping the House of Delegates.

SD-31 is my district where my candidate, Juan Pablo Segura, desperately needs money and volunteers if he is to be competitive. As you can see above his opponent has out raised him and now has far more Cash On Hand, Perry has $461,967 and Segura a mere $26,354. That explains why Perry is able to afford nearly constant television ads lying about Segura. (He does not want to make abortion illegal.) Please give Juan any money and time you can spare.
In my House district 30, Democrat Robert Banse has far out raised Republican Geary Higgins. This tells us where Banse is getting the money for all the ads saying Higgins was part of the January 6th demonstration at the Capitol, and even helped lead it! Higgins wasn’t even there. Higgins also needs our money and time if we are to win and keep the House of Delegates.
Unlike the Democrats’ national committees, the RNC won’t give Virginia Republicans a dime to help us win in three weeks. So we need the grassroots to help us win this one!
