The content is not a standard press kit or direct voter persuasion page; it instructs what different voter groups should consume, making it red-box guidance.

Starting immediately through Election Day, Democratic primary voters need to read the following information about Salaam Bhatti. Democratic primary voters districtwide need to read this information. Voters under 45 need to see this message and voters on the go need to hear the message.

Salaam Bhatti is a public interest lawyer who worked at the Virginia Poverty Law Center. His track record includes real results: leading bipartisan efforts to expand SNAP assistance for 25,000 families, expanding free school meals for tens of thousands of children, repealing racist laws, and increasing cash assistance for families in need.
Salaam is the only candidate in this race with a track record of providing real relief and concrete results to tens of thousands of Virginians through legislative changes.
Salaam is a true progressive Democrat. He’s rejecting corporate PAC money, and in Congress he’ll take on billionaires and giant corporations to deliver relief for working families.
Salaam will fight to end the illegal war in Iran and to end the genocide in Gaza.
Make a plan to vote early by August 1 or on Primary Election Day August 4.
Voters need to know the following about Shannon Taylor:
Last year, Taylor took over half a million dollars in campaign contributions from Dominion Energy, even as energy costs skyrocketed for Virginia families,
As Henrico County prosecutor, Taylor struck a three year plea deal for a NICU nurse who broke nine premature babies’ bones,
Taylor is backed by big contributions from pro-Israel donors and will be an ally to Israel in Congress.

That’s why Salaam is powered by more than 2,900 grassroots contributions and hundreds of volunteers across the First District who are ready for actual change and why he’s endorsed by State Senator Saddam Salim, Delegates Sam Rasoul and Charlie Schmidt, and previous CD-1 nominees Herb Jones and Qasim Rashid.
