Happy Mother's Day, John! Today, I’m celebrating with the three people who shape everything I do: my daughters.

Raising three strong, smart, and spirited girls is the greatest joy — and the greatest responsibility — of my life. Like so many moms, my kids keep me on my toes. They remind me to be patient. And most of all, they inspire me to dream big.

I'm running for Governor for many reasons, but one is to set an example for my daughters.

I want Claire, Charlotte, and Catherine to see that serving your community matters. Especially now, when people's rights are threatened, we urgently need smart, confident women to take charge, stand up for our freedoms, and set out to make Virginia’s communities strong.

To all of my fellow moms, thank you! There's no more important job in the world.

With love,

Abigail Spanberger
