John,

Last night—just before the opening of the Democratic National Convention—I was asked to moderate a conversation about “Challenges in the Current Moment” as part of a Virginia for Biden pre-convention watch party. Beyond the fact that I love emceeing, I also love engaging in critical conversations with incredibly thoughtful people.

I was glad to be joined by key political leaders in our state like Congressman Bobby Scott and State Senator Jennifer McClellan. What’s more, I was honored to share the screen with key community advocates like Stephanie Cook and Barbara Lee—a special education teacher and voting rights advocate, respectively. Between us, we were able to raise important issues and have a productive conversation about the ways we can work together on the path forward.

A campaign is—at its core—just a series of conversations. During a week when our party comes together (virtually) to celebrate our values and put forth our vision, I'm grateful for that opportunity to engage with folks who I hope to have as friends and partners in the days to come.

We have a lot of work to do to overcome the challenges of our current moment, but I believe deeply that we can do so if we focus on creating opportunities for everyone in this country to succeed. In the meantime, let's keep engaging, building, and organizing.

Sincerely,

Cameron
