Friends —

These days, we’re all doing things differently to keep our communities safer and healthier: putting off travel plans, staying home as much as possible, and wearing face coverings in public. We’re also looking for new ways to safely connect with voters.

For example, a few months ago we had volunteers ready to fan out across the Commonwealth to knock on doors and register record numbers of new voters — this was a critical part of our winning strategy. But since we’ve been practicing physical distancing, voter registration numbers in Virginia (and across the country) are way below what we were hoping. In this chart, the red line is new voter registrations in 2020, and you can see the sudden drop in April.

We’re already shifting our campaign online: offering volunteering opportunities, moving town hall events online, and connecting with our supporters weekly to make sure they have the information and resources they need. Now, we’re taking our voter registration strategy online, to make sure that every Virginian has the opportunity to cast their ballot this November.

We need your help — if you’re able, will you make a donation to support our voter registration operation?

Everyone on Team Warner is working hard to keep this campaign going strong. Mark and the entire team were looking forward to traveling across Virginia to talk to constituents about the issues that matter in their communities. We’re disappointed that we’ve had to put that on hold for now, but we’re turning our attention to making sure everyone has the opportunity to cast their ballot and make their voice heard. It’s more important than ever for our campaign to reach folks online.

If you’re able, will you contribute now to help us fund a new strategy and move our campaign online?

We’re focused on sending Mark back to the Senate so he can keep fighting for us. Thank you so much for your support.

— Team Warner
