Emily. I'm writing to ask you for $20. That's right: just $20. $20 because I've had enough of Trump and Hegseth's attacks on our Constitution. $20 because Donald Trump wants to stamp out any and all opposition, and he's willing to undermine your First Amendment rights to do it. $20 because he's sent Pete Hegseth after me, and he's moving ahead with a sham investigation to drag my name through the mud and destroy what I fought for during my 25 years in uniform. I am not going to break. I am going to fight this with everything I have. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is just about me. It's about every person who has the courage to speak out against Trump. Trump wants us living in fear. I don't intend to let him win, but I need your help. Can you split a contribution of $20, or whatever you can afford, between my campaign and the DNC to help power our work against Trump, Hegseth, and anyone else who would take away our liberties?

You are an invaluable part of our work and our mission in Virginia.   | 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.
