John,
How are you feeling as the end of September looms? I hope stormy weather hasn’t dampened your spirits as we have six more weekends of work ahead of us (and we can phonebank indoors anyway!)
Our Canvas HQ section was just SO JAM PACKED WITH ACTIVITY that it was getting a bit long for my TikTok-addled attention span to scroll through in an inbox, so I’m happy to share our new Campaign HQ Document containing all of our opportunities to help Dems win races all over the region. Now you can keep our plans bookmarked for when the urge to help hits you!
And since we all need a pick-me-up (all across Northern Virginia) as we enter the final stretch, we have a special treat to kick off October - we are partnering with the Fairfax and Alexandria Young Dems to host a
joint happy hour and Vice Presidential Debate watch party (RSVP for location)! So join us to kick back, share stories about canvassing so far, and watch Coach Walz whip this problem player into shape.
Stay strong!
