Sen. Mark Warner just announced he is running for re-election in Virginia. We’re sharing an important request from him to make sure he has the resources to hold this seat for Democrats.

Folks —

Today, I’m officially kicking off my reelection campaign – to keep up the fight for Virginia’s families, to stand up to the policies in Washington that are skyrocketing the cost of living, and to continue to bring people together to get it done.

And my friend, Chris Murphy, said I could reach out to you directly – because I’ll need you to join me in this important work. I need your bold ideas, your enthusiasm, and your commitment to making life better for your kids and grandkids with me on the campaign trail.

And yes, I need your support in the form of a $5, $15, or $25 contribution. Your donation today – split between Chris Murphy’s mobilization fund and my campaign – is an investment in the future we’re building together. My team set a goal of earning 5,000 donations this week to kick off our campaign with the grassroots strength we need to win. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us build momentum, reach voters, and get the job done.

Look, I’ve always been focused on what’s next, on what’s on the horizon. I started a cell phone company back when everyone was still using landlines.

When I was first elected governor, it was on the promise to move Virginia forward. And we did.

And, in the Senate, I’ve been focused on the challenges our country faces next:

Expanding broadband and economic opportunity to rural America.

Preparing our intelligence communities for 21st-century threats in our increasingly interconnected world.

And standing up to Trump’s policies that raise prices and gut health care while he hands massive tax breaks to billionaires.

But our work is far from over.

Since the AI revolution, we’ve seen the job market in a free fall – while prices continue to rise. And Donald Trump and his crowd in Washington? They don’t have a clue what to do about it. They don’t even seem to care.

Instead of being paralyzed by fear – or worse – making futile attempts to turn back the clock, we need to ensure that innovation gives everyone a fair shot.

This moment calls for big ideas. A systematic economic re-tooling to prepare for the impacts of artificial intelligence, a complete overhaul of affordable housing and childcare, and universal health care coverage.

We need a vision to chart a new path and effective leadership to get it done. That’s why I’m running for reelection to the United States Senate.

And I’m asking you to join me. Will you step up today to become one of the 5,000 donors my campaign is counting on before Friday? Split a donation between my campaign and Chris Murphy’s mobilization fund to become an Official Campaign Kickoff Donor.

Our work starts now.

Thank you,

Mark Warner
