John,
Let me put the bottom line upfront: I am running for Governor, and I need your support!
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? 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 and add your name to our growing list of supporters to endorse my campaign for Governor? I am working to build a strong foundation of support, and I need your help.
