Good morning John xxxxxx,

As we close out 2025, I wanted to share with you that Wednesday, December 31 is my campaign’s year-end fundraising reporting deadline.

Year-end fundraising totals are a critical measure of a campaign’s strength and momentum, showing supporters, media, and others that OUR message is resonating.

Your support leading into 2026 is also especially crucial as I prepare for a two-month fundraising blackout from January 14 through March 14 while the General Assembly is in session -- so if you are able to help with a campaign contribution, I would truly be filled with gratitude for that support.

Additionally, if you are in the Richmond area or are interested in traveling to the Capitol for a visit, I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to join me and Senator Christie Craig for a Pre-Session Breakfast to kick off the upcoming General Assembly.

Here are the details:

Date: Monday, January 12, 2026

Time: 08:00 AM

Location: 108 N. 8th Street, Richmond (Virginia Credit Union League)

To make sure we can accommodate everyone comfortably, please let us know if you’ll be able to attend. To RSVP you can use the QR code on the flyer below or simply click this link: RSVP LINK.
