This is a big test for our campaign as we work to rapidly deflect the attacks we're facing and defend Hala's strong record of fighting for greater opportunity.
I've been running the numbers, and to hire enough canvassers this week and supply them with mailers about Hala, we need to raise $2,500 more in grassroots donations.
First, I want to thank you for all your support throughout last month. As we gained critical endorsements and ramped up our field program, it was grassroots donations from folks like you that kept us going strong.
But we can't afford to rest easy right now. Over the weekend, we learned that my opponent is sending out campaign mailers with lies about my record and positions.
First impressions matter a lot in politics. It's critical that we prevent a false narrative about me from taking hold among the voters of Senate District 33. Polls have shown that a majority of the electorate is still undecided, and the messaging they're exposed to in the coming days and weeks could have a major impact on the final result in our primary.
I'll proudly stand by my record any day. I've fought tirelessly for reproductive freedom, gun safety, environmental protections, fairer wages, equitable housing and public transit, and a fairer criminal justice system — now, we need to make sure that my record reaches voters when it counts the most.
