House Majority Forward sends $5M to Virginia redistricting effort
House Majority Forward, a nonprofit closely aligned with Democratic leadership, is sending another $5 million to the party’s redistricting referendum campaign.
That brings HMF’s total investment to $10 million ahead of the planned April 21 referendum in Virginia. Virginia voters will weigh in on a proposed state constitutional amendment that would allow the Democratic-controlled state legislature to temporarily disregard the bipartisan redistricting commission and gerrymander the commonwealth’s House map.
This effort could yield up to four new districts for House Democrats.
The party’s campaign, Virginians for Fair Elections, has already spent $5.3 million on ads, per AdImpact. The latest spots feature a former member of the state’s redistricting commission and a retired Army general endorsing the amendment.
