  2. Page updatedJuly 25, 2026
  3. Guidance removedAugust 11, 2026
No longer present. When this page was last checked, on September 7, 2026, this guidance was not found. The finding remains on the ledger and the archived evidence below is preserved — guidance taken down after drawing notice is itself part of the record.

The page contains explicit directives about what Democratic primary voters should read and see, segmented by geography (Norfolk DMA) and channel (on the go), along with prescribed message themes about the candidate's record and opponent. This language is addressed to an outside spender (super PAC) to guide paid advertising, not to voters directly or to the campaign's press shop. Therefore, it constitutes red-box guidance.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • Starting immediately through Election Day, Democratic primary voters need to read the following information about Shannon Taylor.
    Directive language with a specific time frame and audience, typical of media-buy instructions.
  • While Democratic primary voters districtwide need to read this information, those in the Norfolk DMA need additional reinforcements.
    Geographic segmentation (DMA) indicating targeted media buying for a specific market.
  • voters on the go need to see the same message below.
    Channel-specific instruction ('on the go' implies mobile/outdoor ads) for an outside group to execute.

Starting immediately through Election Day, Democratic primary voters need to read the following information about Shannon Taylor. While Democratic primary voters districtwide need to read this information, those in the Norfolk DMA need additional reinforcements. On top of what voters are going to read, voters on the go need to see the same message below.
Taylor is a proven fighter who has what it takes to beat Rob Wittman in November. She’s won tough races and has a 25-year record of standing up to powerful special interests to protect our communities.
She was the first Democrat in decades to be elected Henrico County’s top prosecutor, where she has made Henrico one of Virginia’s safest communities, dropping the murder rate by 80%.
She’s taken on the following tough fights and won:
Held fraudsters accountable for exploiting seniors and working families
Took on the NRA to get illegal guns off our streets
Prosecuted neo-Nazis and the KKK
Led the fight to protect abortion access
She’s running to take on corrupt politicians like Rob Wittman who line their own pockets while raising our costs.
That’s why she’s endorsed by Governor Spanberger, Tim Kaine, and eight labor unions.

Shannon Taylor has spent 14 years as Henrico County’s top prosecutor — locking up violent criminals, taking on fraudsters, and keeping families safe. Now she’s running for Congress to prosecute the case against Rob Wittman and make Washington work for the people of Virginia’s First District.
