Hey team,

Thanks to our Democratic leadership here in Virginia, the 45 days of early voting begins THIS FRIDAY at 8am! If you, your friends, or family members haven't yet made a plan to vote for Terry McAuliffe for Governor, Hala Ayala for Lieutenant Governor, Mark Herring for Attorney General, and all of our Democratic delegate candidates, don't hesitate to share this information.

Click here to check your registration, apply for a ballot, and find your early voting location. There are so many opportunities to vote - by mail, in person, at a drop box, or on election day - and you no longer need an excuse to vote early. 

Last year I was a Field Organizer here in Fairfax for Biden-Harris and the Virginia Democratic Coordinated Campaign. As many of you know, winning elections is incredibly hard work, and depends on local volunteers who are committed to fighting for the future they want to see. 

The stakes could not be higher in this election, and we need everyone to pitch in to defeat Trumpkin and his fanatic Republican ticket. That is why I'm hoping you will join me and Gerry for a canvass kickoff in Fairfax this Saturday, September 18th at 4pm.

I understand if you aren't available Saturday, but that's no excuse not to get involved. You can click here for other events in Fairfax or click here for all of the events across Virginia. Do your part, so you don't wake up on November 3rd to a Republican-controlled Virginia wishing you had done more. 

Thank you for voting, and I hope to see you on Saturday!
