Friend —

Last week, my team sent out a number of emails asking members of this team to make a donation to my campaign and our movement ahead of our first FEC fundraising deadline of the cycle.

Today, I am reaching out to thank you. Because of your support, we hit our fundraising goal and we’ll be able to show up strong on the FEC report. Across the nation, people will see that running a people-powered, honest campaign can be successful. And without you, this campaign would be impossible. Thank you.

It’s not my favorite thing to have to reach out and ask for money. But this campaign is powered by grassroots donors chipping in what they can, when they can, not corporate PAC money. That’s why these deadlines and goals matter — even if it is so early on in the cycle. Because every donation has a supporter behind it. And the strength of this team comes in building up our coalition with more and more people.

I’m proud to serve the people of Long Beach and Southeast LA and have the opportunity to continue doing so with your continued support. We are in this fight for workers, parents, educators, and California families, and together, we are going to bring real impactful change to this country.

Thank you for being part of this team. Your support means everything.

Together,

Robert
