Friends. It’s Alexander Vindman, reaching out to you with a personal request.

Can you split a contribution between Democracy Defense Action and my twin brother Eugene’s campaign for Congress today? I ask because I know I can count on you.

You probably know this already, but Eugene and I value integrity and honesty above all else.

These principles guided us throughout our decades of military service. It's what compelled us to blow the whistle on Donald Trump's attempt to extort our allies in Ukraine when we overheard a concerning phone call. And now, it's what motivated Eugene to run for Congress.

Eugene is running for Congress to uphold those same values and continue his fight to defend our democracy and the Constitution we both vowed to protect.

And more than that, he will fight to restore and expand the fundamental rights right-wing forces have worked so hard to take away: the right to reproductive freedom, the right to vote, the right for us and our kids to live without fear of gun violence.

But he can't win these fights alone. I am with him – nothing is more important to me right now. But we need you with us, standing by our side, because Trump and his allies will do whatever they can to keep him out of Washington.

So, can I count on you to split a contribution between Democracy Defense Action and my brother Eugene Vindman's campaign for Congress in Virginia?

We're at a crucial point in Eugene’s campaign and he needs all of us to rally behind him, just like he stood firm when facing off against Trump.

Thank you in advance for your donation. Any help you can lend to our campaign today is greatly appreciated.
