Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer’s organization plans to spend at least $2 million to elect Democrat Ralph Northam as Virginia’s next governor, with a focus on turning out millenial voters.

The former California hedge-fund manager turned climate activist told The Washington Post that Virginia, which is holding the nation’s marquee gubernatorial contest this year, is the most important campaign priority for his group, NextGen America.

Many environmentalists in the state, along with some landowners, are opposed to the pipelines and say they are angry with Northam, who has maintained that the projects’ fate is up to federal regulators and the state has little say.

Because Ralphy is also getting a boatload of money from Dominion, as are other Democrats.

Steyer’s $2 million commitment is expected to cover 70 paid staffers on 25 Virginia college campuses, who will register and try to turn out millenial voters in November. It will also pay for a digital campaign to reach millenials who aren’t in college.

A spokeswoman said their organizers registered more than 1,000 voters at the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville as students moved onto campus over the past weekend.

The country is run by and for a few corporations for the benefit of a hundred thousand or so of the citizens. If you think otherwise, its because that's what they want you to think.

There's just no other logical choice! I realize that millions can buy you plenty, but Virginians are going to elect a Republican. Then the left can riot and destroy more, just because they are triggered!
