Right now the NRCC is gloating about their fundraising haul, and our nine opponents are opening up their checkbooks to buy this congressional seat.

We’ve raised $1,822 to fight back, but we need your help to get to $5,000 by tonight. Can you rush $20 or more to help us erase their advantage?

There is going to be an unprecedented amount of money in our district this year. Judging by the amount of dark-money that’s being funneled in by our opponents, it wouldn’t surprise me if this ends up being one of the most expensive races in the country.

We’ve got a campaign plan that stands up to them, but it relies on grassroots supporters like you stepping up and being a part of this team.

Thanks for your help,

Team,

I’ll cut right to the chase: we’re in for a tough fight this year. For the first time in a long time, the NRCC raised more money than Democrats — and they’re going to spend their war chest trying to beat us.

This is our worst case scenario, but I know we can work together to erase this deficit. If we can raise $5,000 by midnight on Saturday, we can stay competitive. We can’t do this without you. Can you donate $20 or more to help us beat the NRCC?

We’re seeing extremists across the country ramping up their rhetoric and campaigns — especially in our district. With so many opponents lining up to take us down, it’s important that we step up for common-sense leadership.

I have nine opponents running to unseat me. Nationally, they’ve been some of the highest fundraising challengers this cycle, and they’ve broken records in this district, too.

They’re collectively going to dump a mountain of dark money into this race, and a lot of it is coming from their own pockets. I can’t open my wallet and buy an election — I’m here because of supporters like you.

I know how to bring people together. I know how to reach across across the aisle. I know how to get things done. But the NRCC would rather see another lock-step extremist in this seat because they’re threatened by us.

While the other side is having a fundraising surge, they don’t have the relationship with this district that I do. You are our secret weapon this November, team.

Help us close the gap. Chip in $20 or more to help us raise $5,000 by Saturday night.

Yours,

Josh
