Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates and the Virginia Senate sent out a memo on Oct. 10, summarizing what they consider to be the dangers facing the state if Republicans take control of the Senate and keep control of the House and governor’s office.

The Virginia House Democratic Caucus, Senate Democratic Caucus, and The Majority Project wrote in the Oct. 9 memo that the Nov. 7 elections in Virginia are a “battle between extremism and commonsense.”
