I won’t take up too much of your time

NY-19 is a battleground district, and with the GOP’s thin majority in the House slipping, we can expect more Republican attacks like this.

Jason, I'll keep this short: yet another GOP-aligned group has jumped into our race by spending millions—$22 million to be exact—on negative ads running in our district! 🚨 FIGHT BACK NY-19 is a battleground district, and with the GOP’s thin majority in the House slipping, we can expect more Republican attacks like this. But this doesn't mean we can slow down. I need your support to keep fighting back. Can you pitch in $5 to help me send a message to Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, and their MAGA machine that our district isn't theirs for the taking? They may have corporate PACs and millions to spend, but we've got grassroots momentum, and that's what wins races like ours.

Red to Blue, thanks to you

We can reclaim a Democratic majority together.

It’s official – the path back to national sanity runs through our district, Virginia's Fighting Fifth! That’s right, the DCCC has just elevated our race to the coveted Red to Blue status, given to the highest tier of pick-up opportunities needed to reclaim a Democratic majority. This has been a huge week of momentum, starting with a new poll that shows our months of barnstorming the district have paid off – we have pulled even with Rep. John McGuire in a district he won by 15 points less than two years ago. Better yet, when voters hear about his record, we pull away by ten points. That’s what happens when he sells out our communities to protect his 100% rating from the corporate lobbyists in DC. If you love this momentum as much as I do, don’t bother reading the rest of this email. Just click here to split a donation between my campaign and Abigail Spanberger's United for Virginia's Future Federal PAC so we can reach the voters who will do the rest. Let’s leave nothing on the table to ensure we reclaim this seat for the people of the Fighting Fifth.  So: what does being a Red to Blue race mean? For one, it proves that the progress we keep telling you about – the progress that you have helped us build through grassroots, people-powered organizing – really works. And now, it has been recognized and rewarded. The DCCC’s Red to Blue program is a highly competitive group of top-tier races across the country. Getting added to this list sends a big signal that this is the place to invest your time, talent, and treasure, if you want to reclaim our country from the kleptocrat-in-chief. The path back to sanity runs through the Virginia Fifth and the defeat of John McGuire. He was part of January 6th, has been enriching himself day trading stocks, and is so extreme that he opposes a right to contraception. He has been AWOL from the district, while voting to shutter rural health clinics and labor and delivery units. He got caught insider trading stocks in companies impacted by his party’s work in Congress. This news shows that a campaign like ours – one that rejects money from lobbyists and focuses on grassroots energy – can get the resources we need to flip this seat. I’m proud that our grassroots campaign has already defied the odds. But being a Red to Blue race isn’t all sunshine and puppies – it also means that the Republicans’ dark money juggernaut will be unleashing on us soon. Big time. They see the same numbers we see, and the dark money groups know that one of their most reliable yes men, John McGuire, is in trouble. BIG trouble. The President can’t save him, because the voters here have turned on Trump. Every one of those "endorsed by Trump” posters McGuire has planted around the district is just driving his numbers down further. All that’s left is McGuire’s undying loyalty to his dark money donors. He sold out our communities for them, and they are going to spend a lot to protect him. Now, I need you to dig deep and step up again, because it only gets harder from here. Will you split a contribution of $25, $50, or even $100 (or more!) between my campaign and Abigail Spanberger's United for Virginia's Future Federal PAC right now to help us build to victory in November? Contribute $5 Contribute $10 Contribute $25 Contribute $50 OTHER AMOUNT This team is a force to be reckoned with, and I certainly don’t envy the Republicans on the other side of you! Together, I believe we will win. Thank you so much. –Tom Perriello Democratic nominee in Virginia’s 5th District
