FIRST LOOK: Virginia House Democrats Launch Early Advertising Targeting At Risk House Republicans
In a year where Democrats are on offense, Virginia House Democrats are Holding Extremist Republicans Accountable
RICHMOND, VA — Today, the Virginia House Democratic Caucus launched a statewide advertising campaign targeting twelve of the most vulnerable House Republicans.

As these vulnerable members return to their districts eager to tout their accomplishments, House Democrats are putting them on notice with a five-figure ad buy across YouTube and streaming platforms. This ad campaign comes days after it was reported that Musk’s favorables are underwater with voters across the country, as are Trump’s early actions.

As was the case in 2017, Virginia will be the test case for Trump’s unpopular Executive orders and the chaos Elon has sowed throughout the government.

“House Republicans have shown time and again that they lack the courage to stand up for everyday Virginians,” said Speaker Don Scott. “Families and especially veterans across the Commonwealth are struggling to keep up with rising costs and shrinking opportunities, and House Republicans continue to back policies that worsen the crisis. Putting Virginians and their livelihoods first means holding these politicians accountable for their failures—and that’s exactly what we intend to do.”

“While Washington continues to spiral into chaos at the hands of an unelected billionaire, hardworking Virginians’ jobs, benefits, safety, and family budgets are collateral damage,” said Leader Charniele Herring. “Voters deserve to know who’s fighting for them, and who’s feeding them lies. We have one message for House Republicans: pack your bags.”

“There’s so much at stake for Virginia families this November—our kids’ education, our rights, and our economic future,” said Chair Kathy Tran. “But instead of fighting for hardworking Virginians, House Republicans are too busy doing MAGA’s bidding, blocking legislation that would move our Commonwealth forward. Virginians deserve leaders who will put them and their families first.”

“Virginia House Republicans are too busy taking orders from Donald Trump and his billionaire handler Elon Musk to fight for the people they were elected to serve,” said Campaigns Chair Del. Dan Helmer. “While House Democrats are working to lower costs, protect freedoms, and grow our economy, Republicans are falling in line with MAGA extremists who want to drag Virginia backward. Virginians deserve leaders who stand up for them—not sell them out.”
