John,

It’s official: Donald Trump reissued his “Schedule F” executive order, making it easier to fire Virginia’s federal workers and replace them with political appointees and loyalists.

Virginia is home to thousands of federal employees who dedicate their lives to keeping America’s communities strong, safe, and connected. They are nonpartisan professionals who have devoted their careers to serving our nation.

When the President threatens to fire these federal workers and redesignate their jobs as appointee positions, he’s not only threatening the jobs and livelihoods of our Virginia neighbors and their families — he’s prioritizing political allegiance over nonpartisan expertise and experience in some of our country’s most consequential roles.

I’ve been steadfast in opposing the return of this reckless policy. It undermines Virginia’s economic stability and disrespects the invaluable contributions of America’s public servants. Across our Commonwealth, I’ve heard from federal employees, small business owners, and community leaders who share my concern about the devastating impact Schedule F could have on our workforce and economy.

I believe that our lawmakers should be focused on creating jobs — not creating chaos.

But I can’t fight back against this alone. I need your help to ensure we have the resources to protect Virginia’s workforce and push back against dangerous policies like Schedule F. Will you contribute whatever you can today to support my campaign?

Thank you,

Abigail
