John,

I'll keep this short. A new poll was JUST released showing a tie between me and my opponent, former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor.

National Republicans will leap on this opportunity to pour resources into this toss-up race and try to help break the tie in Taylor's favor -- and I need your help to make sure monied interests aren't able to buy this election.

I'm counting on individual supporters like you to help me stay strong in this competitive race -- chip in using this secure link to keep Virginia's 2nd District BLUE >>

Thank you for stepping up at such a critical moment for our campaign,

Elaine
