We're in the homestretch now, and you deserve to know exactly what we're doing to flip Virginia blue.

We have to make each day left in this campaign count. John, we have less than 100 days to go until Election Day! I'm the only Democrat in the country who can flip a Governor's seat blue, and we're in the homestretch now. Before I lay out all we're doing to win the biggest race of 2025, wil…

Republicans are trying to rig the next election to hold onto power

John, I’ve seen Donald Trump abuse his power before — and what’s happening in Texas right now is no different. Under Trump’s direction, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is redrawing congressional maps mid-decade — an illegal, partisan power grab designed to wipe out five Democratic seats. Why? Be…

Eugene needs your endorsement, John

John, From the day Eugene was sworn into Congress, he’s done exactly what he promised: Fought for accountability, defended democracy, and stood up to extremism. So today, we have a simple but meaningful request for you: Will you add your name to personally endorse Eugene Vindman’s campaign…

This movement is strong — because of you. Thank you.

John, I’m writing today to simply thank you. Last night, we hit our July fundraising deadline, and I am proud to say we passed our fundraising goals. We could not have done it without you, John. Whether you donated, signed a petition, or simply opened an email like this one, it means a gr…

We didn’t hit our goal — but you can help us catch up

John, On July 25, 2019, Eugene and his brother Alex put everything on the line to blow the whistle and stand up to Donald Trump — and to defend democracy. To mark that anniversary last week, we set a grassroots fundraising goal of $20,000 to power Eugene’s re-election campaign and remind hi…

Trump never forgot what Eugene did. Neither did we.

Six years later, Trump and his MAGA cronies still want revenge. Hi John, Six years ago this week, Eugene and Alex Vindman did something most people in Washington never do: They put everything on the line to do the right thing. To defend democracy. No calculations. Just a decision rooted in…

6 years ago, everything changed for Eugene and me

Hi John, It’s Alexander Vindman. Yesterday marked six years since my twin brother Eugene and I made the hardest decision of our lives. On July 25, 2019, I was serving in the White House when I heard something that shook me to my core: President Trump abusing his power to pressure Ukraine —…

6 years ago today…

John, On this day, 6 years ago, Trump made the phone call that forever altered the lives of me and my twin brother. On July 25, 2019, my brother, Alexander Vindman, listened as President Trump attempted to extort our ally, Ukraine, by withholding military aid unless President Zelenskyy inve…

Mike Johnson just cut the House session short to avoid a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein’s files

John, Speaker Mike Johnson just cut the House session short — not because of an emergency, not to serve the public — but to avoid a vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein’s files. Let me say that again: Republican leadership ended the House session early to block a vote on transparency in one of…

5 reasons for just $5.

John, it’s May 5th. So, give us just a moment to share 5 important reasons to chip in $5 to Eugene Vindman’s campaign for Congress today: 1️⃣ This is one of the most competitive House races in the country, and Republicans have already named Eugene a top target for 2026. 2️⃣ Trump and the fa…

We urgently need you by our side.

National security isn’t a game Republicans can play with

John, On Thursday night, House Republicans rammed through a defense budget that puts politics over our safety. I voted no — because I refuse to stay silent while they endanger national security and abandon our allies. This wasn’t just another budget bill. It would: Eliminate 45,000 public …

I led a bipartisan letter demanding answers about Ukraine aid

Mike Johnson just raised $18 million, and I’m his top target.

Bad news, John: Republican Speaker Mike Johnson just released his Q2 fundraising report, and the numbers are staggering. In Q2 alone, he raised over $18 million for House Republicans — $50 million this entire year. And the worst part? I’m one of their top targets. Republicans have made it k…

Hi John, Yesterday, my Finance Director, Sophie, reached out to you with a finance update on our campaign. She let you know we’re facing a fundraising shortfall — and that we gave ourselves 48 hours to close the gap before we’re forced to scale back parts of our campaign. As of this morning…

Ukraine can’t afford Trump’s negligence

Trump’s bill is a disaster — and I’m voting NO.

John, I’m in Washington today, ready to vote NO on what Trump is calling his “One Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill is nothing but a betrayal. A betrayal of working families. Of veterans. Of seniors. Of rural communities. Of anyone who isn’t a billionaire donor in Trump’s inner circle. If Hous…
