Dear John,

It may seem early in the campaign season to ask, but June 30th is an important campaign finance reporting deadline and I can use your help. 

Simply put — so much is at stake: 

• Democracy

• Climate change

• Gun violence

• Reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights

• Affordable housing and healthcare, and 

• Economic opportunity for all.

I work very hard every day on your behalf to advance these issues, but our ability to make progress is limited so long as we Democrats remain in the minority. That’s why I’ve been working to ensure that I can defend my seat and assist other Democrats to win their districts.

I take nothing for granted and am facing at least one aggressive, repeat primary opponent. With a Presidential Primary and hotly contested senatorial race here in California, it will be more difficult to break through to voters. We can do it, but we need to raise funds sooner than usual.

Can you help me? Please consider a contribution to my reelection campaign so that I can continue my work on your behalf. Federal law limits the amount an individual can contribute to $3,300 in each of the Primary and General elections. Your support in any amount is a vote of confidence I will be lastingly grateful for.

Always,

P.S. Please contribute before the June 30th reporting deadline so I can show strong support from my district.
