John, today is the culmination of 722 days of hard work.

This campaign has meant the world to me.

It has transformed my life, and I know it's set a powerful example not just for Virginia but for the entire country.

From big cities to small towns, I've seen hope shine across people's faces — it is the joy of realizing that a stronger and more affordable future for our Commonwealth is within reach.

But while the polls may be closed, our job is not done until the last vote is counted.

So, before we find out if all our hard work has paid off, I have to ask one more time: Will you pitch in your first $25 to help us defend access to the ballot box and continue putting Virginians first?

With deep gratitude,

Abigail Spanberger
