Susan Stengel contributed $25,000 on April 22, 2026, to Rural GroundGame, an organization focused on supporting Democratic campaigns in rural Virginia. The donation is designated for a Virginia candidate through this group.

Rural GroundGame operates as a Democratic advocacy committee that provides on-the-ground assistance to Democratic nominees, committees, and community leaders in rural areas of the state. Founded in 2019, the organization pools resources for campaigning and communications tools aimed at rural voters. Public records show it has received total contributions exceeding $1 million since its inception, with expenditures surpassing $1.1 million in some reports.

Stengel has a record of supporting Democratic candidates in Virginia. She previously donated to former Governor Terry McAuliffe during his campaigns. Additional contributions from Stengel include support for Jennifer Woofter.

This latest donation adds to funding directed toward efforts in Virginia’s rural regions, where the group has emphasized building presence for its aligned candidates. Rural GroundGame maintains operations with a small staff dedicated to these activities across the commonwealth.

The contribution highlights ongoing financial support from individual donors to organizations active in Virginia elections. Stengel resides in Goode, Virginia, and her giving aligns with patterns seen in federal and state donor databases.
