John,

In two days, we face our next major fundraising deadline. Before I ask if you can pitch in $10 or 25 to help us reach our goal, I hope you’ll let me explain why grassroots contributions from people like you matter so much at this moment.

Six months ago, we did the unthinkable: we came together as a people-powered movement and flipped this House seat from red to blue, unseating a far-right extremist who celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade and pushed the Big Lie about the 2020 election.

We accomplished this by winning 1,350 more votes — a slim 0.68% margin — than our opponent. Every contribution that folks like you made helped make that happen.

Now, I’m delivering on my promises and fighting for the people of NM-02 in Congress, working for more jobs, affordable housing, action on climate, reproductive rights, and so much more. But a term in the House is only two years long, which means I’m already up for re-election next year in November.

Far-right former Rep. Yvette Herrell — who notably voted against the right to choose, against our veterans, and against massive infrastructure improvements — has officially announced her campaign against me, and she has Kevin McCarthy, Donald Trump, and dark-money super PACs backing her.

I have you.

This is a DCCC Frontline race and an NRCC Top Target seat, and it was the closest Democratic House victory in 2022. Our race in 2024 could determine whether or not Democrats take back Congress or far-right Republicans continue to move us backward.

Please, if you can, make a grassroots donation of $10 or more right now to support my re-election campaign and defend this critical seat.

Thank you for everything,

Gabe
