Friends,
Tonight I will take the stage at Norfolk State University to finally debate my opponent, self-proclaimed MAGA candidate Hung Cao. If you don’t have time to read the rest of this email, I’ll ask right now: Will you please pitch in $3, $5, or $10 ahead of tonight’s debate to support my re-election? [[link removed]]
Cao has been enthusiastically endorsed by Donald Trump and has the backing of folks like Ted Cruz and Newt Gingrich. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin constantly fundraises and campaigns for him.
My opponent and I are pretty different. He’s got an A rating from the NRA, I’ve got an F. I’ve got a 100% on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund Congressional Scorecard, he was previously endorsed by the National Right to Life Committee. He wants to release and compensate convicted insurrectionists, I think the January 6th attack on our Capitol was a horrific and unAmerican stain on our history.
But another difference is how we view Virginians. He called a Staunton newspaper “podunk,” claimed it would be “ridonkulous” for him to drive to Abingdon to discuss issues, supports a plan to forcibly relocate federal employees out of Northern Virginia, labeled all NATO employees “lazy,” and even compared women and doctors making hard reproductive decisions to Nazis. I respect Virginians, love traveling all over the Commonwealth to work with them, and believe in results, not insults .
There are just 34 days left in this race, and I’m going to use every single one to make sure every Virginia voter knows where I stand on the issues they care about, and what the stakes are in this election.
To do that, I’m going to need your help. The Trump-Vance campaign has made it clear they want to flip Virginia this year, and they’ve got boots on the ground here trying to make it happen — plus support from the National Republican Senatorial Committee — all of which makes it harder for us to communicate clearly with voters the way we need to.
Before I take the stage for tonight’s debate, will you pitch in any amount to help my campaign fight back and do the critical work of reaching, persuading, and turning out undecided voters? [[link removed]]
Thanks a lot. I’ll see you tonight!
