Friends,

In 2018, I was the underdog candidate.

Poll after poll had me down in the run up to Election Day. But we didn’t give up -- and thanks to the hard work of this team to organize in every corner of the district, we beat the odds and WON by just over two points.

But it’s one thing to run as a first-time candidate who’s under the radar -- it’s a completely different story when you’re a Democratic congresswoman defending an R+1 district when Republicans are just 5 seats away from winning a House majority.

Now I’ve been named as a top target for national Republicans before the election year has even started -- dark money groups have already launched multiple dishonest attack ads against me.

We’ll need to fight even harder to defend this seat in 2022 -- so if you’re able to, I’m asking you to make a contribution to my campaign to help us raise $8,075 more before our critical end-of-month fundraising deadline hits tomorrow night >>

Your contribution will be critical to ensuring we have the resources to counter GOP misinformation and set the record straight about my work in Congress fighting on behalf of Coastal Virginians.

Thank you for stepping up,

Elaine
