Friends,

When I was first elected to Congress, I knew I’d need a team that could match the urgency of the moment — and I found that in James Walkinshaw.

James didn’t just serve as my Chief of Staff. He helped lead the charge on everything from protecting federal workers to expanding transit to making sure all Northern Virginians have access to affordable health care.

Now, as I prepare to step away from Congress, I can tell you this without hesitation: James is exactly the kind of leader we need in this moment of rising extremism and democratic backsliding.

He’s steady. He’s smart. And above all, he leads with integrity.

But more than that, James will build on the progress we’ve fought so hard to achieve and stop the MAGA right from tearing it all down. Trump and his allies are coming after everything we’ve worked for: reproductive rights, climate action, worker protections, and the very institutions of our democracy. We need someone ready to stand firm and fight back from day one.

That’s why I’m doing everything I can to help elect James as the next representative for Virginia’s 11th District — and why I hope you will too.

Will you make a donation today to support James’s campaign? You will help ensure we preserve the progress we’ve made in this district and nationwide. [[link removed]]

I’ve spent my career fighting for our values. James has been with me every step of the way — and I trust him to continue that fight with clarity, conviction, and courage.

Let’s help him get there.

With gratitude,
Gerry Connolly
