Last week I wrote to you about the stakes involved in the November election and asked you to help make a difference on gun safety, choice, and the national policies that impact Arlington, Virginia, and our country.

Today I want to invite you to my general election campaign kickoff on Sunday, June 26th from 3 to 5 pm. I ask you to support our campaign to build a fairer, more equitable Arlington. To come, go here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mdfbarcroft
I will never forget that your support in 2018 gave me the opportunity to serve.
Our re-election campaign kickoff will include a chance to hear about the policy priorities that you supported when we won in 2018 and the work I want to do to expand opportunity to more Arlingtonians over the next four years.
We have two declared opponents in the general election. To win and strengthen our community's commitment to opportunity for all, we will need to build a strong campaign. I need your energy and enthusiasm to do that.
We are holding this event in Barcroft because it is close to one of the accomplishments I am most proud of from my tenure as chair: the decision to preserve 1334 units as affordable by investing County funding and partnering to maintain affordability for 99 years.
I am forever grateful for the work you did to give me the chance to serve in 2018. I hope you can join me as we kickoff our general election effort to serve and expand opportunity for more Arlington residents this year.
