The 1st Quarter Fundraising Period ends tomorrow (Tuesday, March 31st) night at midnight, but YOU have already SMASHED previous fundraising records!

Look at 1st Quarter fundraising totals since 2023, the year I assumed the role of Chairman of this Committee:

2023: $1,389.00
2024: $10,542.00
2025: $11,104.00

With little more than 36 hours to go before the deadline, YOU have contributed a total of $14,220.

If you haven’t yet invested in our efforts in 2026, please consider chipping in $25, $50, $100, or more before tomorrow night’s fundraising deadline.

The far-left is in full control in Virginia. YOU understand what’s at stake and YOU aren’t shying away from the fight.

As I often say, fundraising isn’t the only metric of success for the Arlington GOP.

Across every measurable effort, YOU have stepped up in greater numbers and to greater effect.

On the heels of an admittedly disappointing defeat last November, YOU immediately jumped back into the fray:

• Richard Samp and Eric Turner stepped in to lead our “VOTE NO!” campaign.
• Frederick Tarantino and Ben Thome ramped up precinct and volunteer efforts.
• James Scarborough, Joseph Warren, and others doubled down on crafting commonsense local policy solutions.
   
• Frank Lusby and his team sprang into action ensuring election integrity for the April 21st referendum.
• Bob Cambridge jumped in to lead our Committee-Civic Infrastructure project.
• Chris Wright and others recommitted themselves to candidate recruitment efforts.

And many others of you — Becky, Carla, Rick, Robin, Sandy, Sara, Steve, and more! — have taken the extra step to volunteer for our efforts. 

I am incredibly honored to lead such a dedicated group of Republicans. None of this would be possible without YOUR involvement and support.

Every phone call you make… Every neighbor you mobilize… Every postcard you write… Every hour or dollar you invest in our efforts helps grow our presence locally and brings balance back to the Commonwealth.

Here’s an additional exciting update:

Frederick Tarantino organized a Day-of-Action this past Saturday. As I sat with Arlington GOP members and volunteers, I heard the buzz of phone calls and positive responses from Arlington friends and neighbors. In just 75 minutes, a core team of Arlington Republicans made hundreds of phone calls to committed Republicans who are very likely to join our efforts.

Thank you to the members and volunteers who came out on Saturday and to Frederick for organizing the event.

Take a look at a few Arlington GOP events and opportunities below.

I encourage you to jump in where you can.

Thank you for EVERYTHING you do for our Republican Party and our principles. We couldn’t make an impact without your engagement and support.

Onward,

Matthew Hurtt, Chairman
Arlington GOP
