John,

As you probably know, we're in the midst of our third and final endorsement round for the year, focused on identifying several additional candidates in Pennsylvania and Texas, but perhaps most importantly, on selecting our full set of endorsees in Virginia. Flipping the VA House -- sending a strong message to Republicans and setting the pace for 2020 -- is well within reach, but we need your help this week to maximize our impact.

We're finding fantastic candidates. This round we've vetted more candidates than ever before (by far), with greater rigor, and have streamlined the process for our endorsement committee. For the past two weeks, we've met incredible candidates running for local and Delegate seats in Virginia -- and this week, we're meeting talented candidates in Pennsylvania's swing districts. In short, we have no shortage of incredible people with viable races to invest in.

But we still need to raise more money to invest in them. Republicans are afraid of Democrats flipping the House this year, so they're pouring more money than anticipated into Virginia -- and campaign budgets are higher than we expected. We're on track to hit our end of year fundraising goals, but those funds are far more valuable if we can raise them sooner and invest in our candidates now -- and we're still a bit short.

Can you help? We're setting a goal of raising another $5,000 this week, and we need your help to make it happen. It's crunch time, and every dollar helps.

Please consider making a donation in an amount significant to you today.


Thank you,
David Burd
