Mark Warner for Virginia · a note from mark

Folks,

Tonight – from a 30-minute rambling speech – we saw what I’ve been sounding the alarm about since the start of this year:

President Trump has laid the groundwork for massive interference in the midterm elections.

This president has never been willing to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election. He’s obsessed with relitigating it, wasting taxpayer dollars to do it.

What we saw tonight was nothing new, but it’s dangerous nonetheless.

President Trump doesn’t want you to think your vote matters. He wants you to stay home – but folks, we can’t let him. We’ve got to translate our anger into votes.

So if you’re as fired up and pissed off as I am after listening to this president tonight, then I need you to join me and my campaign at this critical moment for our country:

  1. You can sign up to be a volunteer with my campaign and Virginia Democrats. Volunteers play a critical role in not just reaching Virginians ahead of election day through doors, phones, and texts, but also helping our voter protection team monitor and respond to any concerns voters might have as they cast their ballots.

  2. If you don’t live in Virginia or don’t have the time to volunteer, you can help by donating to my reelection campaign. Your donation tonight helps us reach voters, make sure Virginians have the information they need to cast a ballot in November, and stand up to any nonsense Donald Trump or his Republicans might throw our way.

  3. But most importantly, I need you to talk to your friends, neighbors, and family members. Tell them: Do not be fooled. Follow the facts. And don’t let the President stoke hysterics about an election that was audited, investigated, and fair.

Tonight is a critical moment for our democracy, and what we heard from the President is deeply troubling. There’s no doubt about that.

But here’s what else I know: We live in the greatest country on Earth. Our democracy has withstood the test of time. And if we unite together behind what is right, reject the lies, and stand up for our free and fair elections – then I firmly believe we will prevail.

Thank you for everything that you do.

More soon,

Mark Warner
