Friends, since Tim announced that he will seek re-election to the U.S. Senate next year, our team has been busy mapping out the foundation for a strong re-election campaign.

Here are some of the reasons why:

Virginia remains a battleground state, plain and simple. In fact, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight called our race a “pickup opportunity” for Republicans.

Virginia has a Republican governor in power, and we know that the GOP and special interest groups will be setting their sights on growing their foothold in VA this cycle.

And finally, Tim’s election coincides with the next presidential election, which means it’s even more important that we persuade and turn out as many Democrats as we possibly can.

We can’t do this without your support. So right now, will you split a donation of $20 or more with Senator Warner's and Tim’s re-election campaign efforts?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be automatically split between Tim Kaine and Mark Warner:

EXPRESS DONATE $5

EXPRESS DONATE $10

EXPRESS DONATE $25

EXPRESS DONATE $50

EXPRESS DONATE $100

DONATE OTHER

Building up our resources in key moments like this allows Tim to make strategic decisions about his campaign, from opening offices to hiring organizers on the ground.

We make these pushes because it’s critical to take a strong fundraising number to Tim -- and to prepare for our next FEC filing report.

We can’t afford to take anything for granted. Will you split a donation of any amount right now?

Thank you so much -- we know that Tim is grateful to have your support.

-Team Kaine
