John, I won't sugarcoat this.

Political experts are saying this race could be the most competitive and expensive Senate primary in history.

We have a long and difficult fight ahead of us. And with GOP megadonors and MAGA Republicans eager to foot the bill, it’s only going to get worse.

I am determined to win in California and protect Democrats’ razor-thin majority in the Senate. But to do that, I need your support to build up our defenses and fight back. With our FEC end-of-quarter deadline on Friday, can you please give $5 to help me defend my seat? Our numbers will be public, so Republicans will see exactly where we stand.

Republicans know that I have a chance to secure a historic victory in California and defend Democrats’ Senate majority. I can be the additional vote we need to pass crucial legislation like restoring abortion access nationwide – and that’s why MAGA extremists will only continue to ramp up their attacks over the coming months.

Our internal polling shows that this race is a statistical tie among informed voters – so every dollar we raise truly makes a difference. I'm proud to say that this campaign is funded by people like you – not corporate PACs. But that means I’m counting on the support of this grassroots community.

So with just days until our critical end-of-quarter deadline, will you give $5, $25 or anything you can to make sure we head into election season strong, win in California and build a progressive future for all?

Your support means so much to me as we face the long road ahead. I’m so grateful to have this incredible team fighting by my side.

Thank you,

Barbara Lee
