Team,
One year ago, I launched my campaign for Governor of Virginia. As I reflect back on the last year, I’m grateful for the many conversations I’ve had with Virginians across our Commonwealth.
I got into public service because, from a young age, my parents – a career law enforcement officer and a nurse – instilled in me a deep devotion to our country. Years ago, I swore my first oath to the U.S. Constitution. I enthusiastically embarked upon a career serving my community, my Commonwealth, and my country — first in law enforcement and then at CIA. I worked at home and abroad to keep our country safe and protect the country I love.
When my husband Adam and I moved our three daughters home to Virginia – just miles from where we had grown up – I thought my days of public service had come to a close. But after the 2016 election, our country was at a crossroads. I decided to run for Congress. We worked hard, and we built an extraordinary team driven by purpose and principle. In 2018, Virginia’s Seventh District elected a Democrat – me – for the first time since 1968.
As I reflect on both the past year and last week’s election, I’m once again reflecting on what I said when I launched this campaign to serve as the next Governor of Virginia: our Commonwealth is at another crossroads. Do we continue moving backward with attacks on our rights, our kids’ education, and our sense of security — or do we move forward on a path of progress?
While last week’s election wasn’t what we wanted, I’m still filled with hope and a true belief in the promise of Virginia’s future. And I am committed to standing up for the values that unite us as Virginians.
I know when we come together and focus on the issues that matter most – stronger schools, safer communities, and lower costs for Virginia families – we can get things done.
It is still a long road to the 2025 Governor’s election, but will you join me now and support my campaign with a contribution split between my campaign and Democracy Defense Action ? I am working to build a strong foundation of support, and I need your help. [[link removed]]
