Freedom Virginia (c4)
Organization Description
Through grassroots activism, voter engagement, and legislative advocacy, Freedom Virginia is pushing our elected officials to ensure that hardworking people have the freedom to thrive in an affordable and fair economy. Since our founding in 2020, we have engaged with elected officials to push for major changes in health care affordability, economic advancement for families, and fair tax policy. Our team is committed to amplifying the voices of hardworking people and continuing the fight for a more fair and affordable Virginia.
2025 Programs
Our focus is on electing champions of our policy agenda in 2025, including a House majority that will advance a pro-middle class economic agenda; a Lt. Governor who will be a partner in that legislative work in the State Senate; and Attorney General who will enforce those laws and hold corporate price gougers accountable; and a Governor who will lead the ticket to victory and sign our priorities into law. In both battleground House districts and key areas with mobilization opportunities for statewide races, we will communicate to mid to high partisan and mid to low propensity voters.
