John,

As a mom of three girls in Virginia public schools — one in elementary school, one in middle school, and one in high school — the future of our public schools is personal to me. I understand firsthand how crucial it is to make sure our children have access to a high-quality education.

From addressing Virginia's teacher shortage to making critical investments in our schools, I am committed to ensuring that every child in Virginia receives the quality education they deserve. As Governor, I will prioritize the future of our children by strengthening our schools and supporting our educators.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to abolish the Department of Education — threatening support for Virginia schools. And some Republicans are focused on gutting public education and even banning books.

Here’s my promise: I will always work to make sure that every Virginia student — no matter their ZIP code — has the opportunities, resources, and support they need to thrive. Parents across our Commonwealth deserve a Governor who is dedicated to making Virginia’s K-12 public schools the best in America.

But I can’t do this alone. I need your support to make this vision a reality. Will you stand with me and help make sure that every Virginia student — today, tomorrow, and for generations to come — has the chance to succeed?

Thank you,

Abigail
