Friends —

Mark Warner’s Republican opponent Daniel Gade is joining Donald Trump in sowing misinformation about voting by mail. And make no mistake about it: This is an effort to make it harder for folks to vote, especially since we’re still in the middle of a pandemic. He’s made unsubstantiated accusations about voting by mail at least twice already.

As coronavirus cases continue to rise in Virginia and across the country, experts agree that voting by mail offers a safe and secure way to participate in elections without risking the spread of COVID-19. Earlier this year, Virginia passed a law allowing no-excuse absentee voting. That means that everyone has the ability to vote by mail in the November 3rd election if they choose.

Even though Daniel Gade has repeatedly parroted Donald Trump’s false claims that voting by mail is fraudulent, it seems he’s saying one thing but doing another. Ahead of the June primary, his campaign website featured a form for Virginians to request their mail-in ballot to cast their vote for Gade.

It’s clear that Daniel Gade will not represent our best interests in Washington. We need to send Mark Warner back to the Senate so he can continue to work for all Virginians — and be honest about his priorities with them. If you’re able, will you pitch in now to help send Mark back to the Senate?

Thank you,

Team Warner
