John, political pundits were rating VA-02 as one of the most competitive races in the nation before former Congressman Scott Taylor was even the official Republican nominee!
It didn't matter who was going to be on the ballot against Elaine. She's a Democratic freshman who flipped a district that Trump won, and national Republicans see her seat as a top target to help them take back the House.
Outside groups have already spent $500,000 on attack ads against Elaine -- and now that a new poll shows Elaine and Taylor are TIED, they're going to spend even more to try and break the tie in his favor.
We need a surge of grassroots support to help us stay strong in this toss-up race -- will you be one of the 200 supporters we need to chip in to Elaine's campaign before our end-of-month fundraising deadline hits in just 3 days?

Taylor raised over $4 million to fund his last campaign, but his fundraising power pales in comparison to the help he'll get from his GOP allies.
The Congressional Leadership Fund -- the top GOP Super PAC endorsed by House Republican Leadership -- just booked another $1 million ad buy in Virginia for this fall!
That's just a drop in the bucket for them. The Congressional Leadership Fund raised almost $100 MILLION in 2018, and as a dark money group, it can flood this race with unlimited amounts of money from billionaires and giant corporations.
Elaine beat Taylor by just 2 points last time. Now she's counting on you to help her defend this seat against an onslaught of dark money: will you rush in a donation to our end-of-month fundraising goal to keep VA-02 BLUE?

We need you in this fight,
