Gaby Goldstein is Co-Founder of Sister District, an organization with the goal of putting progressive power in state legislatures. Gaby joins today to discuss the governor’s race happening TODAY in Virginia--so if you live in the state, it’s your time to get out and vote! And if you know someone, it’s your job to give them a call to make sure they’re hitting the polls. Gaby acquaints us with the candidates and let’s us know that’s it will be a photo finish, emphasizing the importance of progressive VA voters getting out in support of Terry McAuliffe. Gaby also fills us in on the origins of Sister District and another organization they partner with on multiple initiatives, Run For Something. She shows us how the state legislative level of government is critical in fighting gerrymandering and it’s also where big, impactful change can happen. She also tells us about the Future Winners Program, which works with candidates who ran and lost by small margins, in order to revamp their campaigns to take another shot at running. And though the Virginia governor will be decided after today, she talks about how we can and should strategize for 2022, and how you can help out from the comfort of your home.

*This episode was recorded before today’s election. BUT, you can still get involved with Sister District and Run for Something to prepare for the 2022 midterms and beyond! GO HERE: www.sisterdistrict.com
