Sen. Tim Kaine speaking into a microphone

 

Hey there, John !  

 

With less than three weeks until Election Day in Virginia and voters already casting ballots, I’m reaching out with an urgent message about the importance of this race. If you’re short on time, please join me in supporting Democratic candidate Karen Jenkins with a gift, but if you have a moment to spare, I’d like to explain further.

Del. Cliff Hayes, VA State Senator, L. Louise Lucas, Karen Jenkins,  Sen. Tim Kaine, and Chesapeake City Council Member, Dr. Ella Ward , pose together at Jenkins for Virginia event.

 

Virginia is at a crossroads. 

 

When you look at the past two years since Republicans gained control of the House of Delegates and the Governor’s mansion in Richmond, we’ve seen them fight – not on behalf of Virginians, but to drag us backward.

 

Republicans in the legislature introduced bill after bill to make it harder to vote, control women’s bodies, and prioritize tax cuts for Virginia’s wealthiest over working families. 

 

John, we cannot afford another two years with Republicans at the helm, which is why I’m reaching out to you directly about Karen Jenkins.

 

Karen is running for Delegate in one of the most competitive districts in Virginia. The road to a Democratic majority in the Virginia House of Delegates this November runs right through battleground areas like House District 89.

 

That’s why I’m reaching out on behalf of Karen Jenkins: Will you support this team working to win a battleground seat by making a contribution? Your donation today makes a statement that Karen can count on grassroots supporters like you.

As someone who has been a part of elections in Virginia for a long time, I’ve seen my fair share of close races -- including my own race for Richmond City Council in 1994, which I won by only 97 votes! I remember vividly how in 2021, Democrats lost the majority in the House of Delegates by just 733 votes in the three closest districts. And how in 2017, leadership famously broke a tied race by randomly drawing the winner from a bowl. The outcome? Democrats lost our chance at ending the GOP’s House majority and fighting back against harmful policies -- by sheer luck.

 

I can’t see that happen again. Karen Jenkins is working hard to reach every single voter in the district. Their team is busy knocking doors, running advertisements, and attending community events. They’re working day in and day out to make sure everyone understands the high stakes of this election.

 

Karen is running a tough race, and she can’t do it alone. That’s why I’m fighting so hard to help Democrats take back the House of Delegates and win in battleground races like 89.

 

Battleground races come down to a handful of votes. So I’m asking one last time: Can you support Karen Jenkins’s work to reach every voter, mobilize volunteers, and build a winning campaign today? It'll take all of us coming together to take back the House of Delegates and elect leaders like Karen Jenkins who will bring bold ideas and real solutions to the challenges facing Virginians >>

 

I really appreciate all of your support in this final stretch,

 

Tim Kaine

U.S. Senator, Virginia
