John,

I wanted to send you a note personally to discuss the stakes of this month’s fundraising deadline.

Every month brings a new opportunity to show our campaign’s strength through strong fundraising totals. National Republican and outside spending groups are always looking for signs of vulnerability, and they would love nothing more than to slander Virginia Democrats ahead of the November 7th election.

So, let me be clear: the same National Republican groups planning to spread lies and attacks will pay extremely close attention to our fundraising every single month. While I know they won’t beat me, I want to make a clear showing of strength early.

We must demonstrate the true scale of support this campaign has behind it.

So please, to make a major impact on the success of our campaign, will you make a contribution before the October fundraising deadline?

With sincere gratitude,
Abigail
