I will never stop fighting to defend our democracy, and neither will Eugene Vindman

John — It’s Capitol Police Staff Sergeant and U.S. Army Veteran Aquilino Gonell. If you don’t know my story, I am one of the officers who fought to defend the Capitol on January 6, 2021. On that day, I was assaulted by more than 40 MAGA extremist rioters who were trying to overtake the Ca…

I refuse to wake up with any regrets on November 6

John - Before I ask for any more support, I want to explain just how close our race is to make sure you understand the stakes. When you hear pundits talking about battleground states, Virginia doesn’t usually make the list. That means too often Democrats risk taking things for granted here.…

It’s nothing to panic about yet, but we do need to hustle to solve this problem. John - Our fundraising hit a bit of snag this week, and we’re reaching out to ask if you can lend a hand. You see, our donations have slowed down a little bit recently — putting us a bit behind pace. It’s noth…

BREAKING: GOP Super PAC is spending $2.3 million against Eugene

BREAKING NEWS, JOHN: Republicans' Congressional Leadership Fund is planning to spend $2.3 million on TV in our district. They'll likely spend almost every dime of that attacking Eugene. This is not good news, John. The GOP is ramping up their attacks, and we need to be ready to fight back. …
