John,

Last week, on the first day of 2025, I officially signed the petition to get my name on the ballot to run for Governor of Virginia! This is a big first step in our campaign, and I’m incredibly excited to hit the road this year, meet Virginians across the Commonwealth, listen to their challenges and aspirations, and work hard to earn their support.

But I need your help to make this a reality. To get my name on the ballot, I need to gather 10,000 signatures from voters all across Virginia. It’s a crucial step in the process, and it’s a big challenge—one that will take resources, staff, organization, and a lot of hard work. And this is only step one. Once we get on the ballot, then the real work begins.

My campaign is already working to organize events, mobilize volunteers, and fund the materials needed to collect these signatures—everything from petition forms to resources for our dedicated teams out in the field. To reach our goal and secure my place on the ballot, I’m counting on supporters like you to help fund this vital effort.

Will you contribute today to help us gather the signatures we need and keep our momentum going? Every dollar you donate helps us get one step closer to flipping Virginia blue in November.

Thank you,

Abigail Spanberger
