The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, the national Democratic Party arm in charge of funding candidates for state legislative races, is pouring another $200,000 into its effort to prevent Republicans from gaining full control of the Virginia General Assembly.

The group’s latest investment, shared first with NBC News, brings its total spending on the closely watched Nov. 7 elections to $2.2 million.

The new round of cash will pay for get out the vote efforts for Democratic candidates in the state, as well as a round of digital ads seeking to tie Republican candidates to the current power vacuum in the U.S. House by accusing Republicans of not knowing how to govern.

“Republican dysfunction has become a hallmark of national politics. Their refusal to do the basic requirements of government, including choosing a speaker, shows us that this is all a game to them and they don’t care about the people they were elected to represent,” DLCC spokesperson Abhi Rahman said in a statement. “If national Republicans continue to show they won’t govern, why would Virginia Republicans be any different?”

Finally after decades, the GOP has discovered how to run an offensive game.
The GOP-e wants to go back to playing defense only.
The battle for Speaker of the House could be the one that changes the GOP forever.
This will only happen if Jordan becomes Speaker.

All this is aided by the dysfunctional VA GOP. Here in northern Virginia, they couldn’t be bothered to find someone to run against the Soros DA, and they have run virtually no ads against Dim candidates for any office.
