John,

Recently, Abigail and I sat down to discuss our budget and fundraising plan for her campaign to serve as Governor of Virginia. As you probably know, grassroots contributions have always been the backbone of our campaigns, and this race is going to be no different.

However, the cost will be different. Running a statewide race in Virginia is going to be incredibly expensive, and we know that national Republican groups are going to spend unbelievable sums to keep the Governor’s seat in the hands of Republicans.

Our first reporting deadline is coming up at the end of this month. I’d like to ask if you can make a contribution today.

Abigail and I are going to check back in before the end of the year to discuss our progress toward our goal, and I am hopeful we’ll be on track with your support.

Thank you,

Whitney
Campaign Finance Director
