Dear friend,

I cannot thank you all enough for the birthday wishes. I am so grateful to be here representing the people and values of the 11th Congressional District of Virginia, expecially these past two incredibly difficult years. The notes each of you left me, and the stories I hear from constituents every day, are my daily motivation to continue working towards a better Commonwealth and country for everyone. 

In all of my time in politics, I cannot remember a more critical election than what we are facing this November. I know people say that every year, but the future of health care, child care, the right to choose, and the very integrity of our democracy are at stake. That is why the greatest gift I could ask for my birthday is for each and every one of you to choose to get involved, engage your families and friends, and please consider contributing to help me help Democrats keep the House in 2022. 

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Today also happens to be the end of the quarter - and we have not hit our goal. 

If we are going to defeat Republican extremism and keep the House in the fall, we need your help. My team is going to be doing constant outreach in the 11th District and supporting our most vulnerable Democrats across Virginia, and your support is indispensable to that work.  We close our FEC report today, and are not where we want to be.

Thank you again for the incredible birthday wishes and heartwarming messages. It is the honor of my life to serve the people of Northern Virginia, and I cannot thank you enough for the continued support. 

Always in your service, 

Congressman Gerry Connolly
Virginia's 11th District
