This is incredibly concerning, John:

Congresswoman Barbara Lee's first public FEC end-of-quarter deadline is just one day away, but we're still $23,391 away from our must-reach goal. 

Here's why falling short is not an option: After the deadline, our fundraising numbers will be made public. EVERYONE will see if we fall short of our fundraising goal. 

And with election analysts reporting that Congresswoman Lee is starting this race at a serious fundraising deficit compared to other candidates, we must close this gap to prove that our grassroots progressive movement has what it takes to win.

Initial polling shows that a large number of Californians are still undecided, so this is still anyone's race. But as MAGA extremists carry out a smear campaign against Congresswoman Lee, we need an immediate surge in grassroots support to fight back and spread our progressive message to voters all over the state.

John, this is our first FEC deadline of the campaign – and we simply can't afford to fall behind this early, so please: Will you rush $5 or more to help us hit our $150,000 end-of-quarter goal, kickstart our campaign and build a progressive future for all?

This is a critical moment in our campaign, and we need your help now more than ever. Thank you for your support. 

Team Barbara Lee
