I remember when poll after poll had me down in the run up to Election Day 2018.

I remember when political forecasters thought I would lose by a sizable margin. But that didn't matter to my team. If anything, it encouraged us all to work harder. To knock on more doors, talk to more of our neighbors, work a little longer. From sun up to sun down, we organized in every corner of the district, even in places few candidates bothered to reach out to before -- and it worked.

We won by a little more than two points, defying expectations and polling.

Now, polling shows that I’m tied with my Republican opponent in one of the closest "toss-up" races in the nation and we're up against the largest fundraising goal of our campaign to date in less than 48 hours.

I don't want to let my team down -- I want to ensure that they have the resources and support they need to do their jobs and reach voters in every corner of our district.

So if you can, please rush in a MATCHED donation to our FEC end-of-quarter fundraising goal so we can put in the work that will win Virginia's 2nd Congressional District once again: https://secure.elaineforcongress.com/2020Q3Goal
