I’m a Democratic campaign strategist, former counselor to President Bill Clinton, bestselling author, and Virginian. I’m reaching out to you tonight about the absolutely critical election in Virginia in just 4 days. I was proud to vote early for my good friends Terry McAuliffe, Hala Ayala, and Mark Herring, and I hope you vote for them too. [We must make sure a blue wave happens in Virginia on November 2nd, so I need your help. Can I count on your $3 to elect Hala Ayala as Virginia’s first ever woman and Afro‑Latina as Lt. Governor?]( [CONTRIBUTE $3 »]( {NAME}, I’m going to give it to you straight here. I have a lot of concerns about the extreme Republicans running against our Democratic ticket. They are promoting an agenda Virginia just can’t accept: Promising to undo abortion rights, challenging our vote at the ballot box, ignoring the ongoing pandemic, and snubbing the gun violence epidemic. These far‑right, Trump‑endorsed opponents cannot win on Tuesday — we’ve fought too hard for that to happen. So I’m throwing my weight behind Hala Ayala for Lt. Governor. She will continue the historic progress of our Democratic majorities, and serve as a crucial tie-breaking vote in our 21-19 split Senate. [But she can’t cross the finish line ahead without your donation today. I’m personally asking, {NAME}: Will you chip in $3 toward Hala’s FINAL goal? She needs $4,550 to stay on track in these critical days.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [CONTRIBUTE $3 »]( [CONTRIBUTE $7 »]( [Or a custom donation »]( Thank you, Paul Begala Democratic Strategist Paid for by Hala For Virginia [P.O.
