I had to make a difficult decision yesterday

John, I had to make a pretty difficult decision yesterday, and I need to tell you about it. I reached out to you yesterday to let you know that we had an unexpected slowdown in fundraising during the DNC that now has us pacing behind our fundraising goals. But yesterday, during conversation…

We’ve seen a major slowdown in our fundraising this week

John, I am going to be honest with you: the DNC was supposed to be one of our biggest weeks for fundraising. But truthfully, it wasn't. It wasn't even close. We’ve seen a major slowdown in our fundraising this week, and it has put us behind our August and quarterly fundraising goals. With l…

A message from Alex and Eugene

John, Both Vindman twins were at the final night of the DNC in Chicago last night, rallying for Democrats up and down the ballot. Now, they have a message for you: So, John, will you answer Alex’s call? Please contribute $3 or whatever you can afford to Eugene’s campaign for Congress. Euge…

Coach Walz‘s pep talk

Tim Walz understands that the only way we will be victorious this November is through grassroots power John - Last night, Tim Walz introduced himself to our nation at the Democratic National Convention. During his speech, he gave a classic pep talk, and he said one thing that really stood …

John, what do you want?

I’m going to be very direct here, but hear me out: What do you want, John? Do you want to defend our democracy from MAGA extremism and beat the far-right extremists that seek to tear it all down? If your answer is yes, chip in $3 to Eugene Vindman’s campaign for Congress today. Do you want …

Democrats are energized and ready to take on Donald Trump and his MAGA extremist cronies at the polls.

John, The Democratic National Convention began yesterday in Chicago and made one thing crystal clear: Democrats are energized and ready to take on Donald Trump and his MAGA extremist cronies at the polls. Abortion is on the ballot. IVF is on the ballot. Gun safety is on the ballot. Climate …

[WATCH] Me and Alex on CNN

John — Last night, my twin brother Alex and I were on CNN to discuss the war in Ukraine. While Ukraine fights to maintain its independence and defend itself against Putin’s invasion, MAGA Republicans in Congress refuse to defend our democratic values and freedoms abroad — where our support…

I’m outraged

John, On Thursday, Donald Trump went out of his way to disparage and dishonor the men and women who earned the Medal of Honor. He said “The Presidential Medal of Freedom… It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor — it’s actually much better because everyone who gets the Congre…

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 did not catch up to our fundraising goals. August is known to be one of the toughest months for political fundraising — experts even have …

I am respectfully asking

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

Baby Vindmans

See these two? That's me and my brother Alex. We were born in Ukraine to a Jewish family during the height of the Cold War. As little kids, we could have NEVER imagined one of us would be in a position to hear the President of the United States (Trump) attempt to extort our ally, Ukraine, …

Some food for thought…

John, here is some food for thought: In 2020, the last time Donald Trump was on the ballot, Democrats only won this Virginia swing seat by around 8,000 votes. But that's not all: the GOP spent $12 million on attack ads against the Democratic candidate in this district. And now, this race wi…

The truth about our fundraising

John - We have just passed the first week of August, and I have to share something with you. Our fundraising has dropped off...significantly. Take a look at our actblue: It’s not unheard of for fundraising to slow down during the summer, John. But this is a lot slower than we expected. An…

We need to win Virginia by a landslide, so there’s no question about the results.

John, look at what Trump recently posted on Truth Social: Trump took to Truth Social to talk about election security in Virginia after Virginia’s Republican Governor issued an executive order to mandate that presidential elections must use paper ballots. He is suggesting that there are ri…

$26.07. That’s the average donation to our campaign from folks like you so far this quarter. Just $26.07. So today we are asking: Can you match our average contribution amount of $26.07 today and contribute today to help power Eugene’s campaign for Congress? Whether you can match $26.07 or …

Tim Walz: The next Vice President of the United States

John — It’s official. Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota is going to be Kamala Harris’ running mate and the next Vice President of the United States. This is a really exciting moment for Vice President Harris and Governor Walz. But if we’re going to elect them, we need to make sure they win Vir…

My MAGA opponent doesn't believe January 6th was an insurrection.

John — My MAGA opponent doesn't believe January 6th was an insurrection. If Anderson doesn't believe that thousands of people storming our sacred capitol was an insurrection, then he doesn’t know what protecting our democracy means. That’s who we are up against, John: a MAGA-loving, anti-d…

I refuse to let my daughter grow up in a country where her right to choose is taken away

John - Back when my daughter was born, access to abortion was under constant attack from the GOP, but the right to an abortion was still guaranteed. I was hopeful that we could protect that right. But when this far-right Supreme Court majority struck down Roe v. Wade two years ago, our nat…

The choice is pretty simple

John, the choice is pretty simple: I will vote to make Roe v. Wade the law of the land. My MAGA opponent will vote to ban abortion nationwide. It’s clear who we need in Congress. So we need to win this seat at all costs. Contribute $3 or whatever you can afford to my campaign for Congress…
