John --

If you're wondering why my team and I send you so many fundraising emails, it's because campaigns are expensive:

The 2020 Elections Will Set (Another) Ad Spending Record --Forbes // Political Ad Spending Will Approach $10 Billion in 2020 --Wall Street Journal

We know that GOP mega-donors and national Republican groups are ready to spend big money to help former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor in his campaign against me.

In fact, they've already shown us what they're willing to do -- by spending $500,000 on attack ads in my district just last year.

In 2018, we beat the odds and flipped this seat with a groundswell of grassroots support. That's why I'm reaching out to you again during this crucial moment before our first fundraising deadline of the election year.

We know that if our grassroots supporters pitch in $15 or $25 when they can, it makes it possible for us to build a winning campaign.

Your contribution makes a difference in our fight to combat climate change, make our economy work for Virginia families, and ensure that health care is accessible and affordable.

We still need to raise $9,965 to reach our January fundraising goal, and we're running out of time to make it happen. Can I count on you to donate before our deadline?

Thank you for being part of this team,
