We urgently need you by our side.

John, FIRST: Trump began relentlessly attacking Eugene, and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) began pummeling him with a series of attack ads to kick him out of Congress. They’re not sparing a single resource coming after Eugene — and this is just the beginning. THEN: …

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

John, At the beginning of July, I authored a bipartisan letter to the Department of Defense urging the Trump Administration to restart stalled ammunition shipments to Ukraine, and I have yet to receive a response. Days later, Trump admitted to the press he had no idea that his own administr…

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…

We need to close this gap

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…

Hi John, I’m Sophie Beaugrand, Eugene Vindman’s Finance Director, and I’m reaching out with an important financial health update on our campaign. We’re in one of the most competitive House races in the country, and right now we’re tracking behind on our fundraising goals for the month. Tha…

$3. That’s what I’m asking for today.

John, I’m reaching out to sincerely ask you to make a $3 contribution to my pro-democracy movement today. Why? Your $3 contribution helps me hold Trump and his MAGA cronies accountable in Congress while they try to destroy our democracy and harm working families. The $3 contribution you ma…

$23.91.

John — Our team crunched our Q2 fundraising numbers and came up with an important number: $23.91. That is the average donation to our campaign from emails like this. Not thousands, like other campaigns. Just $23.91. That is the power of a true grassroots campaign. To us, a true grassroots …

Ukraine can’t afford Trump’s negligence

This is unbelievable, John. While Putin is escalating his war in Ukraine and his attempt to usurp land, our commander in chief, Donald Trump, just admitted he had no idea that his own administration had paused weapons shipments to Ukraine. Let that sink in: While Ukraine is fighting for i…

I’ll keep this short

John, I know it’s the Monday after the holiday weekend, so I’ll keep this brief. Can you contribute whatever amount you can spare to my campaign for Congress today? On Thursday, MAGA Republicans in the House passed what Trump called his “Big Beautiful Budget.” Let’s call it what it really i…

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…

Eugene Vindman needs your help

Quick update on where Eugene stands ahead of his end-of-quarter deadline Here’s where we stand, John. FIRST: Last November, we flipped TEN Republican-held seats and came within striking distance of taking back the House. THEN: Trump’s billionaire donors dropped $4 million in 1 NIGHT to su…

Legally required, John.

John, Yesterday, I reached out to you about our upcoming FEC fundraising deadline on Monday. Today, I want to take a moment to explain just how important it is that you give $3 before this deadline. John, we have just 3 days remaining until our FIRST FEC deadline since having a MAGA opponen…

Winning in toss-up CA-47 is the key to winning the House majority

The far-right is going to spend millions of dollars in an attempt to kick Eugene and me out of office. Hey, it’s Eugene. Let me cut to the chase: If Democrats are going to win back the House in 2026, we must defend every frontline district — starting with CA-47 and VA-07. That’s why I’m t…

John, do you have a minute? Please hear me out. My campaign is facing a huge deadline in just 4 days: Our end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline. But this deadline is a bit different than the ones before. It’s our first FEC deadline since my MAGA Republican opponent has joined this race. …

We’re being pummeled, John.

I am going to get straight to the point today, John. I am being pummeled with attacks. In the past few months, we have been brutally attacked by Republicans. It began with Trump and Elon Musk attacking me on Twitter and the official White House website, calling me a traitor, a moron, and a…

A full-blown MAGA extremist is taking me on.

I need to make sure you saw this, John: A full-blown MAGA extremist just entered the race here in Virginia’s 7th District — and she’s already raised over $100,000 to take us down. Her entire agenda is doing Trump’s bidding — even if it means higher costs, fewer freedoms, and real harm to h…

Add your name: Demand that Trump abide by the War Powers Resolution

On Saturday night, President Trump unilaterally launched unauthorized preemptive airstrikes against Iran, risking another war in the Middle East. I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. And the Constitution is clear: Only Congress has the authority to declare war. Trump igno…

URGENT: My MAGA opponent raised $100k in 24 hours, and we need to fight back.

You need to see this, John. My MAGA opponent just announced she raised over $100,000 in the first 24 hours of launching her campaign against me. That’s a big deal, John. That’s $100k she can use to pummel us with wall-to-wall attack ads to take me out. And it proves that she already has th…

It’s official, John. I have a MAGA opponent. And I’m not going to sugarcoat it — she’s not going to be easy to defeat. My opponent is a full-blown Trump loyalist, ready to push our country backward. Her entire platform? Back Trump’s deeply unpopular agenda and do his bidding — even if it me…

Our fellow Americans are not the enemy.
