John,

Defending one of the most competitive districts in the entire country is a massive undertaking.

We’re working hard to build up our resources, hire staff, and organize our volunteers to lay the foundation for a winning campaign to defend VA-02.

But we’re already facing attacks from GOP dark money groups -- which means we need to ramp up our efforts to ensure that we’re staying on track with all of our goals even as we’re forced to play defense so early on in the cycle.

So John, I’m asking: will you chip in $2 for VA-02 to ensure we have the resources we need to counter Republican disinformation AND reach our critical FEC fundraising goal at the end of the month?

As a Frontline Democrat and a top target for national Republicans, I know for a fact that our campaign is going to be facing intense national scrutiny and millions in outside spending.

That’s why it’s absolutely critical that our fundraising numbers show that we have the support we need when our first FEC public deadline of the year hits at the end of the month.

Every single dollar you can give counts -- because every dollar helps send a message to the party leaders and political pundits that we have an army of folks like you standing behind us ready to defend this seat.

National Republicans spent over $3 million to try and unseat me in 2020 -- so we have to start preparing NOW. One step at a time. One donation at a time. Will you pitch in $2 to help keep VA-02 BLUE?

Together, we’re going to hold our course and WIN.
