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 iVote Fund? I am working to build a strong foundation of support, and I need your help.

Thank you,
Abigail Spanberger

 

 

 
 
 

iVote was created in 2014 with one goal: secure voting rights for all Americans.

Rather than take on challenges in the court after unfair laws have passed, iVote plays defense on voter suppression efforts AND goes on offense to secure and expand access to voting.

Going on offense is critical. We have the chance to elect Secretaries of State that will protect our elections for years to come. But Republicans are already suppressing and blocking certain citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote.

DONATE

We need a massive coalition to register new voters and protect our right to vote in this election and beyond.

We know you get a lot of emails, but it's only because this fight is so important. We need you to stick with us long term. But if you must go, you can unsubscribe.
