Friend: If we're going to secure a progressive future for our country, we cannot afford to take a single year off – and with the Virginia governor's race just weeks away, my friend Terry McAuliffe needs our help today.

Right now, Terry's Trump-backed opponent is spending $75 MILLION of his personal fortune to launch attack ads, defeat Terry and flip Virginia red – and now, polling shows his race statistically tied. If we're going to win in Virginia – and lay the groundwork for our victories in next year's critical midterms – we need an immediate surge of grassroots support.

Your donation right now, not days or weeks from now, will have the most impact, so I’m personally asking, friend: Will you split $5 or more between Terry’s campaign and mine – before our deadline at midnight tonight – to help us keep Georgia and Virginia blue and pass our Democratic agenda?

I know a thing or two about running against Donald Trump's handpicked candidate. One of my opponents, Herschel Walker (R), was personally recruited to run against me by Trump – and now, he's using the GOP's playbook to turn Georgia red.

But here's the thing, friend: Unlike our opponents, Terry and I aren't running to represent Donald Trump. We're running to represent everyday people and build a future that we can all be proud of. But if we're going to overcome the GOP, we need folks like you by our side every step of the way.

So please, friend: Will you split a donation of $5 or more between our campaigns right now so we can keep Virginia and Georgia blue? The only way we can win these races is with your support, so I'm counting on you to chip in today.

Thank you for fighting beside us.
