Reaching out personally

 

Jason,

In a moment, I'm going to ask you for a $3 donation to my campaign to flip CA-22 from red to blue. September 30 marks our final quarterly fundraising deadline before the election, so I wanted to reach out and personally explain why your support matters so much right now.

We have new polling that shows me ahead of David Valadao, 48% to 44%. It's a good sign, but a 4-point lead this close to Election Day is exactly what triggers outside groups to pour money in to buy this seat.

Shortly after that poll came out, we got word Valadao and his allies began ramping up their spending in response. Valadao-aligned super PACs have reserved more than $14 million in ads against us, and we expect that number to keep climbing in these final weeks.

We set a goal of raising $100,000 in online donations before our FEC deadline. As it stands, we're pacing a bit behind where we should be. Please send in $3 -- or whatever you can -- to help us stay ahead of the special interests trying to buy this seat.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

This Sep 30 deadline doesn't just signal how much we can spend on ads, mail, and staff in these final weeks — it sends a message about the strength of this grassroots team and how many people are standing with us.

Thank you for being part of this people-powered campaign.
