John,

I want to personally thank you for supporting my Democratic campaign for Lt. Governor of Virginia.

Although we didn’t get the result we worked so hard for, I am immensely proud of our grassroots campaign. Thank you for your vote, your support, and everything you’ve poured into our campaign — it means the world to me.

I know this isn’t the end for our historic Democratic progress in our Commonwealth. I’m more energized than ever to fight for voting rights, abortion access, and everything we made a priority in this campaign.

I hope you will continue to fight by my side for our democracy. We cannot shy away from this battle — I know Virginia deserves so much better than the results of this election.

But today, I want you to know how much your support meant to me in this campaign. From knocking on doors to putting out yard signs to telling your neighbors about our campaign, I am so grateful.

Thank you,

Hala Ayala
Democratic Nominee for Virginia Lt. Governor
