Brennan told supporters, “Now we begin our general election campaign to win this seat for the hard-working members of the 59th. I promise you that I will represent you and support the issues important to our community. Currently, government is working very well for the powerful and privileged, but I want to ensure that it works for all of us.” She further stated, “To be successful, I need your support, your ideas, and your input. So I ask you to join me in an effort to return prosperity to all Virginians, by volunteering, by hosting a neighbor-to-neighbor event in your home, or by donating to my campaign.” On-line contributions to the Brennan for Delegate campaign may be made at ActBlue.
