As Martin Luther King once said

Elaine for Congress     John, As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Everybody can be great—because anybody can serve”. Today and every day, we honor those who stand up and serve in the face of injustice and remember MLK’s powerful legacy. His vision for a true democracy has neve…

The Senate must vote to convict Trump

Elaine for Congress     John, Our nation can not begin to heal until there is true accountability for President Trump and every one of his Republican enablers for violating their oaths of office. This week, the House voted to impeach Donald Trump for the incitement of insurrecti…

President Trump must be impeached

Elaine for Congress     John, Make no mistake -- last week’s failed insurrection was the direct result of President Trump’s repeated attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. For the past four years, Donald Trump has fanned the flames of hatred and divi…

Facts are facts

Elaine for Congress     John, Facts are facts. 80 million Americans turned out to elect Joe Biden this November -- the most votes cast for a presidential ticket in our nation’s history. President Trump’s attempts to overturn the results of a legitimate presidential election are…

My last email of the year -- hope you'll read this John

Elaine for Congress Hi John -- I promise I’ll keep this short. VA-02 is one of the most competitive districts in the nation, and I need your help to send a message to the outside groups who will spend millions to unseat me in 2022 (that’s not an exaggeration -- they spent over…

My New Year's resolution

We have to get this done before the year is over
