Hey John, it’s Ruben.

I got a few free minutes this morning.

Between my newborn Isla and everything else going on, let me tell you: These free minutes are a gift.

So, here’s the deal:

I know a lot of you have been on this list since before my first campaign for Congress.

I know some of you joined at some point in the last few elections.

And, if we’re being honest, there are a lot of folks reading this email simply because I am running against Kyrsten Sinema. No matter why you are reading this, I am thankful for you.

People like me don’t often make it to Congress.

I’m the son of Latino immigrants, who, with my three sisters, was raised by my single mother. I was the first in my family to attend college, cleaning the toilets of my classmates to make it work, and I joined the Marine Corps after graduating and went to Iraq.

The only reason I am here is because of the support I’ve had along the way.

As a kid, the support from my family.

In combat, the support of my fellow Marines.

And in my campaigns, support from people like you.

So now I’ve got a new mission: replacing Kyrsten Sinema and voting to expand voting rights, protect abortion access, take on drug companies and hedge fund managers and be a voice and a vote for working people in the Senate.

But I can’t do that without your help. So please:

Can you make a $3 contribution to my campaign? I’ve taken some time with family since Isla was born, and our fundraising has taken a hit since then. I need your help to get things back on track before it’s too late.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

Thanks in advance for lending a hand. It means a lot to me.

-Ruben
