Folks, on paper, Democrats are winning.
That’s good news – but we can’t get complacent.
Yes, Trump's approval is at an all-time low. Yes, Democrats are up in the generic ballot. Yes, history says the president's party gets walloped in the midterms.
But I've run enough campaigns to know numbers like those create a false sense of security. People might think our work is done. It isn't.
Our team is already on the ground organizing in every corner of the Commonwealth, and we need to keep building momentum every day between now and election day in 138 days. Will you chip in right now to help us hit our daily fundraising goal? [link removed]
I’m running this race the way I’ve always run – getting out there, talking to Virginians about the issues they’re facing, and humbly asking them to rehire me. And I’m not taking a single vote for granted.
But this year, Donald Trump and his allies aren’t running a normal playbook, and they’re hard at work stacking the deck in their favor.
Trump and Republicans are gerrymandering maps across the country, netting them House seats and narrowing Democrats’ path to majorities in Congress. The president is still peddling wild conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, even weaponizing government agencies to investigate voter rolls and raid voting-rights groups. And national Republicans are sitting on a massive financial advantage over Democrats – to the tune of $600 million.
Add it all up and you can see why I won't trust the polls. The national trends look good, but the math on the ground says this is still an uphill fight for Democrats to flip control of Congress.
The only way we win it is by out-organizing Donald Trump and national Republicans. That's our plan in Virginia, and it's why your support matters right now.
Our team is building the campaign infrastructure across Virginia not just to hold our seat, but flip the multiple red-to-blue House seats we have here in the Commonwealth. We need to win these races and put Virginia Democrats in the strongest possible position to overcome whatever Trump and his acolytes throw at us next. Will you rush in a donation to fuel that work?

Our country is counting on us to stay in this fight, organize in our communities, and win.
Stand up, speak out, push back,
Mark Warner
