John – I’m about to ask you to contribute $5 to my must-win campaign before my mid-month deadline tomorrow at midnight – but first, there are a few things you should know:

• I’m running for re-election in the most competitive district in the nation. VA-02 is a pure toss-up, and Republicans are going to flood the race with millions of dollars in outside spending because they know that if they want to take back the House majority, they have to flip VA-02.
• My top Republican opponent is a far-right extremist. Jen Kiggans voted to limit trans students’ rights, wants to dictate what educators can teach in schools, and still won’t admit President Biden won the 2020 Election. We can’t let another Trump loyalist into Congress.
• I’m not on track to reach my monthly goal. It’s vital that we hit this goal so we can run digital ads, hire staff, and meet voters where they’re at across the district.

Asking you to chip in $5 might not seem like much – but if everyone reading this chipped in $5 right now, we’d get back on track to meeting our fundraising goal in a matter of minutes. So, can I count on you to chip in $5 today?
