John,

Let me put the bottom line upfront: I am running for Governor, and I need your support! Will you split a contribution between my campaign and Blue Amp Action today?

Now, let me tell you why: Years ago, I swore my first oath to our Constitution. I enthusiastically embarked upon a journey and a career of public service — first in law enforcement and then at CIA. I worked at home and abroad to keep our country safe and protect the country I love.

When my husband Adam and I moved our three daughters home to Virginia – just miles from where we had grown up – I thought my days of public service had come to a close. But after the 2016 election, our country was at a crossroads, and I envisioned what it could be if we flipped Virginia’s 7th District and made clear that the people of our district deserved stronger representation. I worked hard, we built an extraordinary team driven by purpose and principle, and in 2018, our district elected a Democrat – me – for the first time since 1968.

I have served proudly through some extraordinarily consequential moments in our history, and I have endeavored to do right by my constituents every day. I am proud of the work I have done, the laws I have passed, and the difference I have made.

And now, our Commonwealth is at another crossroads – do we continue moving backward with attacks on our rights, our kids’ education, and our communities’ sense of security — or do we move forward on a path of progress? Last week, Virginia’s elections showed that Virginians want to move forward, but we need a new Governor to be driving that progress.

I am running for Governor, because I know what I will bring to the job – a deep and abiding love for our Commonwealth, a relentless work ethic, and a focus on bringing people together to solve the real challenges facing Virginians.

It is a long road to the 2025 Governor’s election, but will you join me now as a Founding Donor and support my campaign and Blue Amp Action with a contribution? I am working to build a strong foundation of support, and I need your help.

DONATE NOW

Thank you,

Abigail

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world.

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits.

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
