John, I joined Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC to discuss my campaign for Governor of Virginia and the state of our economy, and I'd like to tell you about it.

But first, as the Democratic nominee in the biggest election of Donald Trump's second term, I'm counting on grassroots donations to win big, to send a message to this White House, and to set an example for the entire nation.

So, will you contribute $5 or more today to our campaign and Democratic Values to help us contact undecided voters across Virginia? Early voting starts soon, and we need more donations to fund our organizing program.

Now, I didn't hold back in my interview with Lawrence, and I won't with you either.

Donald Trump has devastated Virginia's economy, but my opponent won't stop cheering him on.

Winsome Earle-Sears has said Trump's tax law does "so many great things."

The data is clear: 350,000 Virginians are projected to lose healthcare coverage and rural hospitals are set to close due to the so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill." Everyday goods are skyrocketing due to Trump's tariffs, and thousands of our civil servants are now unemployed due to DOGE.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics just announced that Virginia lost more than 43,000 jobs earlier this year. And our unemployment rate has ticked up for seven straight months. (The last time that happened was the 2008 financial crisis.)

Now, I have a plan to get Virginia's economy back on track, and I'm ready to go anywhere and everywhere to talk about it. Yes, that means more interviews, more events, and more TV ads.

But all this campaigning is expensive, and the donations from these emails go a long way toward funding our work.

So, are you with me, John? I'm asking you to split $5 or even more today with Democratic Values to help us spread the word about our "Growing Virginia Plan" and stand up to Donald Trump's attacks.

Thank you for considering,

Abigail Spanberger
