Democracy is on the ballot next November.

John, If this past year has made anything clear, it's that our very democracy is on the ballot next November. Trump and his MAGA Republicans have no end in sight when it comes to their authoritarian agenda, and we cannot afford another Republican trifecta through the end of Trump’s term. …

An honest update

John, We need to give you an honest update today: Yesterday, Eugene reached out to you about our mid-quarter fundraising progress, and unfortunately, we are still pacing behind our fundraising goals. Normally, this quarter is not tough for fundraising, but with the longest government shutd…

Before midnight tomorrow…

John, Eugene here. I am emailing to ask respectfully if you can make a $5 contribution to my campaign before midnight tomorrow. I’m sorry to be so direct, but it is incredibly important that I have your support right now. Tomorrow marks the midpoint of the quarter, meaning we have just a m…

I have good news and bad news

John — Alex Vindman here. I’ll be direct. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that our fundraising has slowed down in a big way over the last week, and we’re pacing significantly behind our goals this quarter. The good news is that our grassroots movement is strong and has ne…

I’m voting hell no to the GOP's catastrophic budget

John, today the House will be voting on a budget deal to reopen the government. I am voting NO on this budget. Hell no. As an ethics attorney, former U.S. Army JAG, and fighter for the Seventh District, there is nothing more bothersome to me than seeing federal employees go weeks without pa…

Short note

John, I know it’s a Sunday, so I’ll keep this short. Can you contribute whatever amount you can spare to my campaign for Congress today? We’ve had a slower start to our fundraising this month than we had projected in our budget. So now, we’re trying to make up ground so we have the resource…

Virginia is fighting back against Trump, and I’m leading the charge

John, FIRST: Donald Trump told Texas Governor Greg Abbott to illegally gerrymander Texas Congressional maps in the middle of the decade — rigging the midterms to lock in Republican control after the 2026 elections. Texas Democrats fought back, but Trump succeeded in eliminating five Democra…

Can you take a minute to personally endorse Eugene Vindman?

John, If you’ve got a spare minute, can you add your name to personally endorse Eugene Vindman’s campaign for Congress? With so much happening right now, this action might seem small. But in times like these, everything we do matters. ENDORSE EUGENE Here’s why your endorsement matters: Nat…

BREAKING: Trump’s raised $2 billion to take down Democrats in 2026!

This is bad news for our movement, so we need to be prepared to fight back. John, this is bad. Donald Trump just announced that he’s already raised $2 billion to finance his dark money MAGA PACs this year. $2 billion, John. He bragged, “The midterms are paid for.” What he means is that …

Virginia voted for progress. Let’s keep it going.

What yesterday’s win in Virginia means for our movement John, Yesterday, hardworking families across the Commonwealth showed up to the polls and made their voices heard loud and clear: They’re ready for a serious leader who will deliver real results. The voters have spoken — and that leader…

Let me explain...

John, We just learned Virginia’s congressional maps may be redrawn before the 2026 election. I want to take a minute to explain what that means — and why we need you with us. Donald Trump and his extreme Republican cronies are undermining our Democracy again. It started in Texas but has sp…

This is how we stop Trump from rigging the 2026 elections

John – Big news out of Virginia: Redistricting is back on the table. This is huge — it means that we have a chance to do what Republicans just did in Texas — but for the right reasons. While Trump and his allies like Greg Abbott are busy redrawing maps to guarantee MAGA control of Congre…

I need you to hear this directly from me.

John, There are three things I need you to know right now: I am being attacked relentlessly by National Republicans. It started with Elon Musk. Then Ed Martin joined in by trying to weaponize the Justice Department against me. And now Republican super PACs are pouring millions into our dis…

I am asking you to make your first donation today.

You won’t believe what Speaker Johnson said about Adelita Grijalva

Hi John, When asked on Fox News why he's still refusing to swear in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Mike Johnson smirked and said: "Bless her heart... she doesn't know how it works around here." Are you serious?! How offensive. How patronizing. We know how this works. Earlier this ye…

I made a tough call

John, I made a tough call yesterday, and you deserve to know why. The past month has been one of the most challenging months we’ve faced since Trump entered office. Republicans have shut down the government and forced federal workers to go without pay. Costs are rising for working American…

Two twin boys who devoted their lives to their country

See these two? That's me and my twin brother Alex. We were born in Ukraine to a Jewish family during the height of the Cold War. Back then, we never could have imagined where life would take us — that we’d both wear the uniform of a nation that gave us refuge, or that we’d find ourselves a…

(Urgent) Donald Trump just endorsed my opponent

Will you split a contribution between my campaign and Eugene Vindman to help me defeat Donald Trump's hand-picked candidate in the biggest election of 2025? John, I'm going to lay this out as clearly as I can: Donald Trump just endorsed my opponent, Winsome Earle-Sears. I'm the only Democra…

We didn’t get there…

John, it’s Eugene. On Sunday, I reached out about our 200,000 donation goal. It’s been a couple of days — and I need to be honest: We didn’t get there. But I haven’t lost hope. This team has stepped up for me time and time again, and I know we can close the gap together. So I’m asking one m…

Scott Perry: From one veteran to another, you are wrong about Democrats.

John, it’s Eugene — and I need to set the record straight. Representative Scott Perry just accused Democrats of hating the military. He said, “They don’t care about the Constitution or the nation’s defense.” Let me be clear, Scott: I have devoted my life to this country, and every day in Co…

We can’t stand for this attack on servicemembers

Hey John, it’s Eugene Vindman, Congressman for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. Last week, Scott Perry admitted on conservative radio that he thinks that Democrats “hate the military” and serve when “they want to run for office.” Like any other servicemember, I swore an oath to prot…

We know how this story goes

One last push, John

John, this is it. We’re just nearing our 200,000 donation goal for my re-election campaign. That’s 200,000 moments of people stepping up to defend democracy and stand up to Trump’s chaos. I’m so proud of what we’ve built together — but I’d be even prouder to cross this milestone with you. C…

Almost 200,000 strong. I need you with me, John.

John, Yesterday, my team reached out about an important milestone we’re hoping to hit in the next two days: 200,000 grassroots donations to my reelection campaign. That means nearly 200,000 times, people have stepped up to say they believe in this movement — and in the fight we’re leading t…

If federal workers don’t get paid, neither should Congress
