President Trump made a choice. We're responding.

Hi friend, President Trump and Congressional Republicans deliberately chose to jeopardize healthcare access for hundreds of thousands of Virginians. Not an oversight. Not an unintended consequence. A policy choice. My administration is not going to sit back and let that stand. We’re doing e…

A major race rating change just put Oregon in the national spotlight.

Friends, we’re reaching out with big news at a critical moment in this campaign: Inside Elections just downgraded Oregon’s governor race from “Solid Democrat” to “Lean Democrat.” The only race with that rating in the country. We're just coming off our primary. President Trump and his Republica…

The future I want for my daughters

Hi friend, I have three daughters. Like any parent, I think about the kind of place they'll want to build their lives. I like to think they’ll stay in Virginia. That's not just a personal hope. It's the reason I ran for Governor. Because the truth is, a Commonwealth that works for my dau…

Let me try to convince you

Is there anything I can say to convince you to split a donation to my Senate campaign and Abigail Spanberger's United for Virginia's Future PAC today? What if I told you that a recent poll shows me 1 point down in this race? What if I told you that experts at The Cook Political Report just moved O…

what it means to be a Virginian today

Hi friend, This morning, I stood at Monticello — the home of Thomas Jefferson, the Virginian who wrote the Declaration of Independence — and watched new Americans take their oath of citizenship. I cannot think of a more fitting place to witness that moment. Two hundred and fifty years ago, Jef…

One of the accomplishments I’m most proud of

Virginians’ energy bills will go down, thanks to Governor Spanberger

Hi friend, The President's reckless trade war is driving energy costs through the roof. But even before Washington started disrupting global markets, too many Virginia families were already struggling to keep up with their monthly bills. That's not acceptable. And it's not something we're goin…
