Anyway, Bob Marshall is a disgusting anti-LGBTQ bigot who has made life hell for LGBTQ+ people in Virginia since I was a kid, and this year Danica Roem, a trans woman, is running against him. 

Bob Marshall has been running anti-trans TV ads against her and sending out transphobic mailers (content warning: misgendering, transphobia.)

I know Danica Roem winning is a long shot but it would mean a great deal to me if she even came remotely close, as a bi/trans Virginian who’s dealt with Bob Marshall’s homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic shit for years.

So please, if you’re in Virginia (whether you’re in Bob Marshall’s district or not) vote in the 2017 state election. 

You’re the greatest OP!

Also:

She’s a seasoned investigative journalist for the local newspaper, who’s spent the last decade on the beat getting to know the problems of the district shes running for. Danica Roem is the most uniquely qualified person for Bob Marshall’s legislative seat because she knows, almost academically, exactly what’s wrong and how to fix it for the district. 

During the last nine months, She’s focused her campaign on local issues:
-fixing Route 28 by replacing traffic lights with overpasses throughout Centreville and replacing the traffic light at Orchard Bridge Drive with a flyover in Yorkshire;
-bringing high-paying jobs to Innovation Park by finding a cost-effective way to extend the VRE westward from Broad Run to Gainesville with a stop at Innovation to make the area more marketable;
-raising teacher pay in Prince William County and Manassas Park so it’s not the lowest in Northern Virginia;
-expanding Medicaid to 3,700 uninsured residents of the 13th District who earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line; and
-making Virginia a more inclusive commonwealth, so welcome everyone no matter what they look like, where they come from, how they worship or who they love.

She was also born in the district, Bob Marshall is from maryland and made his way down to virginia to set up his demented operation.

Meanwhile Marshall is the same guy who said that birth defects where god’s punishment for women who have abortions , and he pretty much hasn’t done anything remarkable for his district while in office.

Marshall is a cartoon villain, and if you can help Danica in any way it would be wonderful!

You can donate, she takes any amount you can give. 

Or you could come volunteer and knock doors if you are in the area, its not as daunting as it sounds (and this is coming from an introvert.)

But please please please if you are in manassas park or prince william county in Virginia do not forget to vote on November 7th, and bring a valid photo ID!

PS: she’s also in a metal band called Cab Ride Home

REMINDER: AGAINST SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE ODDS, DANICA ROEM WON!

Think of this next time someone tells you your vote ‘doesn’t matter’.
