this race is OFFICIALLY tied

A major poll dropped in my battleground House race, and I want you to see it.

New Poll: TIED. Elaine Luria (D): 47%. Jen Kiggans (R): 47%.

Elaine Luria v. Jen Kiggans. Dead even.

We’re tied in the most competitive House district in the country, and Cook Political Report rates it a Toss-Up.

But in a tied race like this, NOTHING is guaranteed. It all comes down to our execution in the next four days.

First, we leave nothing in the tank. We’re spending down to zero. Every dollar that comes in between now and Tuesday goes straight into doors knocked, ads aired, and voters turned out across Hampton Roads. There’s no point saving anything for after the polls close.

Second, we prepare for a photo finish. When a race is this close, the margin can come down to a few hundred votes. If that happens, I need a team ready to make sure every eligible voter’s ballot is counted correctly. That means lawyers, trained observers, and staff in place before Election Night, not scrambling after it.

As you know, all of that takes immense resources.

Jen Kiggans has the full weight of the Republican machine behind her. But she doesn’t have this formidable grassroots team by her side. Will you chip in to help us finish strong, protect every vote, and flip VA-02?

Gratefully,
Elaine Luria
