Emily, If you're on other email lists, you probably receive panicked emails that try to scare you into taking action. Too many PACs and politicians view their supporters as their own personal ATMs. Here's what we believe, Emily: You are not an ATM. You are an invaluable part of our work and our mission in Virginia and nationwide. Instead of trying to scare you into contributing, we want to provide you with information that inspires you and makes you want to join us. Instead of misleading you, our goal is always to make sure you have accurate, up-to-date information about how we will put your contribution to work. So here's the truth: Right now, the DNC is laser-focused on supporting our state parties, like the Democratic Party of Virginia. It's the organization best positioned to distribute funds and resources to the Virginia candidates, local parties, and races that need them most. We set our fundraising goals thoughtfully and intentionally to ensure that Virginia Democrats have the resources to continue that work, in every corner of your commonwealth. So, Emily, when you receive an email from us asking for your support of Virginia Democrats, that's exactly where your contribution goes. Your donation today to the Democratic Party of Virginia Victory Fund will help us elect Virginia Democrats up and down the ballot, take back Congress, and, ultimately, win the White House in 2028: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution to the Democratic Party of Virginia Victory Fund instantly: Thank you for your support, The Democrats  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift.

Will you join me on Wednesday, February 11?   | Emily, Senator Chris Murphy here. I'm excited to share that I will be hosting an exclusive briefing with the DNC on Wednesday, February 11, at 5 PM ET. I won't mince words — our democracy is under threat. Donald Trump spent his first year in office making corrupt deals in Washington and overwhelming the American people with chaos, lies, and lawless grifting. Now, ICE has unleashed a dystopian campaign of violence and chaos in Minnesota, killing two American citizens and detaining hundreds of people, including children. But what should frighten every American is how enthusiastically the Trump administration is lying about what's happening in Minneapolis. After CBP agents murdered Alex Pretti, they labeled him a "domestic terrorist" who was "brandishing" a weapon. Those are lies. Alex wasn't attending a "riot."He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights. We do not need to accept this. We are not powerless. Each of us has the power to speak out, organize in our communities, and support the Democratic Party to help build an opposition movement strong enough to slam the brakes on Trump's agenda and take back Congress. That's why I'm having this conversation with you. What we're facing right now is not business as usual. We need to be prepared to fight as hard as we can in the 2026 midterms, and we need you in this fight with us. I'll be answering your questions about what's to come in 2026 and how we're fighting to win in the midterms. Can I count on you to chip in any amount to join me on Wednesday, February 11, at 5 PM for this exclusive briefing? CHIP IN ANY AMOUNT TO RSVP It is up to us to take back our country. I'm looking forward to speaking with you. Chris |  If you gave recently via check or mail, our system may not have yet processed your gift. We are appreciative and thank you greatly for your support.

| Will you chip in $7 to the DNC today to help take back control of Congress? $7. Emily, that's the contribution we're asking you to make today. $7 so Democrats can prevent more cruelty and authoritarianism from the Trump administration. $7 so Democrats can register thousands of new voters in battleground states across America. $7 because Democratic congressional majorities are within reach. We can't do this without you, Emily. With that in mind, will you chip in $7 to the DNC today to help us flip Congress and prevent more chaos and cruelty?

| Emily, This November, Democrats have the chance to flip 37 vulnerable Republican seats, regain a Democratic majority in the House, and bring Trump's agenda to a grinding halt.  This is a big deal. In 2025, we saw major Democratic wins in key races across the country, and we know we can't take our foot off the gas this year. That's why we're launching a nationwide campaign to register voters, train our volunteer base, and host in-person and virtual events in places where people need to hear from us. We're organizing everywhere so we can win anywhere — and we're starting right now. But this kind of investment wouldn't be possible without our team of grassroots supporters just like you. Flipping these 37 districts would put a major check on Trump's power and help Democrats secure a brighter future for every American. The DNC is putting in the work, along with our sister committees, to get out and make meaningful connections with voters across the country and ensure that our Democratic base is as strong as possible before November. Thousands of Democrats across the country are already chipping in to ensure we can flip the House this year. Emily, will you join them and make a contribution of $37, or whatever you can afford, to help flip these 37 districts and retake Congress this year?

Hear me out, Emily. | Emily — is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in $20 split between the DNC and my Senate campaign today?  CHIP IN What if I told you that not one, but two polls show me with a slight lead in this race? What if I told you that experts at MSNBC say the Senate is "in play," and that Ohio is one of the states we must win? What if I told you that The Cook Political Report has increased our odds of flipping this seat — but that corporate special interests are gearing up to spend millions to defeat me? The momentum is behind our grassroots movement. But my opponents are already putting out misleading attack ads, and whether we're able to counter the smears and reach voters with the truth depends on folks like you. So please, will you chip in $20 — or even $40 — split with the DNC to fuel our campaign, and win in Ohio?

We know it's on your mind. | 2028. We know it's on your mind. It's on ours too. We've been making news lately as our decision-making on the early states for the 2028 nominating contest ramps up. And the speculation about candidates is constant. But we know you expect more of us than to just pop up for the presidential races every four years. You also expect us to fight to win every midterm, every special election, every last seat that we can. You expect us to win back Congress this year. So that's what we're doing — and we're the only ones doing it. The DNC is the only organization working to elect Democrats across the ballot, nationwide, no matter the year. When you chip in to the DNC, you're supporting thousands of candidates we work to elect. So, Emily, can we count on you to join your fellow supporters and make your first contribution of the year today to help elect Democrats in 2026, 2028, and beyond? If anyone thinks that we're an organization that only comes alive every four years, they've got another thing coming. But doing this work day-in and day-out requires resources day-in and day-out. That's why we hope that you'll contribute today: If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. A donation now will go further than one down the line will. A donation now will allow us to invest in the infrastructure on the ground we need to win. So if you've been waiting for the right time to give, this is it.
