RICHMOND, Va. — The Spanberger for Governor campaign today announced that it raised more than $10.7 million in April, May, and June of 2025 — the highest amount ever raised in contributions by a statewide Virginia candidate in the second quarter of an election year.

Spanberger’s record quarter was powered by Virginians in communities across the Commonwealth:

  • Nearly 75,000 contributions were $100 or less.
  • 92% of donations were $100 or less.
  • The average grassroots donation was $29.

Since launching in November 2023, Spanberger’s campaign has:

  • Raised more than $27 million.
  • Received nearly 210,000 individual contributions.

“Across the Commonwealth, Abigail hears from Virginians who are feeling squeezed by high costs, frustrated by the chaos coming out of Washington, and are ready to elect a Governor who will put Virginia families first — not blind loyalty to a political party,” said Samson Signori, Campaign Manager, Spanberger for Governor. “We are incredibly grateful for this record outpouring of support. Virginians know that as our next Governor, Abigail will work every day to lower costs, strengthen our schools, protect Virginia jobs, and keep our communities safe. And over the next four months, our campaign will use every minute to make sure Abigail’s winning message reaches every community in Virginia.”

BACKGROUND

Spanberger recently concluded her eight-day, 49-stop “Span Virginia Bus Tour” across the Commonwealth — speaking directly, in-person to more than 3,000 Virginia voters in all 11 of the Commonwealth’s congressional districts.

Throughout the tour, Spanberger highlighted her “Affordable Virginia Plan” to lower healthcare, housing, and energy costs for Virginia families. Across the Commonwealth, Spanberger hears from Virginians who are struggling to keep up with rising costs — and as the next Governor of Virginia, she is ready to get to work to make Virginia more affordable and save Virginians money.

Additionally, the Span Virginia Bus Tour showcased a unified Virginia Democratic statewide ticket. Senator Ghazala Hashmi, Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor, and Delegate Jay Jones, Democratic nominee for Attorney General, regularly joined Spanberger at joint appearances.

Spanberger served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 2019 to January 2025. Before Congress, Spanberger served as a federal law enforcement officer — tracking narcotics traffickers and working money laundering cases. She then served as a CIA case officer — working undercover on counterterrorism and nuclear counterproliferation cases. She and her husband Adam are the proud parents of three school-aged daughters.

Abigail Spanberger announced her campaign to serve as the 75th Governor of Virginia in November 2023.
