John, it’s Aaron Rouse.

This month, I’m facing the first end-of-quarter fundraising deadline for my campaign to be Virginia’s next Lieutenant Governor. But this campaign is about more than getting ahead for 2025. It’s about electing Democrats up and down the ballot in 2024 – and doing everything we can to support them.

While I’m traveling throughout the commonwealth to talk to voters and earn their support, I’m also backing up Democrats like Tim Kaine, who’s up for reelection in November. So when he invited me to speak at his campaign’s office opening at Hampton Roads, I let him know that we have his back every step of the way.

It is critical that we organize and support the candidates on the ballot in 2024 to lay the groundwork for progress in 2025. That’s why I've made it a major part of my campaign to support and direct resources to this year’s most important races in Virginia as part of my Blue Virginia Blueprint.

Our fundraising will go public after June ends, and how our numbers look will determine the trajectory for the rest of my campaign – and our ability to carry out the Blue Virginia Blueprint.

John, we can’t afford to fall short this early in the game. Will you donate $10 to support my campaign for Lieutenant Governor before the most important deadline of my campaign so far so we can show the Commonwealth what kind of team we’ve built – and so we can uplift Democrats all across Virginia?

I’m running for Lieutenant Governor because we need leadership in Virginia with a vision for a better future for our Commonwealth. But in order to defeat the far right and accomplish our Blue Virginia Blueprint, we need to start right now.

With elections every single year, Virginia Democrats have to walk and chew gum at the same time – we have to keep our eye on this year’s election, while also laying the foundation to win Virginia’s statewide offices in 2025. That’s what our Blue Virginia Blueprint is all about. If you have the means and would like to help me carry out this strategy, will you donate to support it today?

If we start now, we will be unstoppable—and that is what we need to be to secure Virginia's future.

Thank you,

Aaron Rouse
