Friends, amid all the noise in today’s media environment and the inevitable political ups and downs of a high-stakes election cycle, we can’t lose focus on our goal:
We can’t let my MAGA opponent win, and we can’t let the GOP take over the Senate.
Congress is a critical backstop in protecting our democracy and our nation’s values. We take a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That includes defending against a potential President Trump who’s hell-bent on fighting against our very democracy — so we can’t afford to lose a Democratic majority that will stand up for what’s right.
Let’s be clear: I’m going to fight tooth and nail to make sure we don’t have a second Trump term. I’m not going to let him win Virginia’s 13 electoral votes.
But as a Senator up for re-election, my #1 goal has to be holding onto my seat and keeping our Democratic Senate majority. If we do that, we can tackle whatever comes our way.
I’m asking for your help today. If you can chip in $25 or any amount that’s meaningful to you, I promise I’ll put it to use right away to reach and mobilize Democratic voters who need to turn out in November.
