Hi John, it’s Rob.

Tonight is one of the most important moments of this campaign so far, and I wanted to write to you personally about why this deadline matters so much.

I know you’ve been hearing a lot from my team these past few days, but that’s because this deadline truly matters.

And before I continue, I wanted to pause to say thank you. Whether it’s a donation, a kind note to my campaign, or simply stopping me at an event to share encouragement, I see it all. I don’t take any of it for granted, and I work every day to earn your support.

But here is the truth: These FEC deadlines are not just about raising money. They are about showing strength. When the clock strikes midnight, our fundraising numbers are locked in and made public for everyone to see, including my opponents.

If we come up short, Democrats will seize on it. They will see weakness in Virginia’s 1st District and pour even more money into attack ads against me. They are already raising millions and running ads smearing my name.

But if we meet our goal, we send the opposite message: that this campaign is strong, united, and ready to win. That is why your support tonight matters more than ever.

So yes, I am asking for your help one more time tonight. If you can, please use the secure link below to chip in whatever you can before midnight.

And if you cannot donate right now, I completely understand. There are many other ways to support this campaign, and every single one makes a difference.

I can’t thank you enough for standing with me and always having my back. I truly could not do this without you. With your support, I know we will be ready to take on whatever the Democrats throw our way.

Rob Wittman
