John,
New from Politico: Across the board, grassroots fundraising is down nearly
50% compared to the first half of 2021.
“..a sudden shortfall in grassroots giving would signal a tectonic shift
in politics. The flow of this cash has made political stars of outsiders.”
John, if this
trend continues, we could see the influence of corporate PACs and big
check donors increase, as campaigns who rely on grassroots donors (like
ours) struggle to compete against the millions wealthy donors and PAC
checks can provide.
Here’s the truth, John. I’ve
never taken a dime from corporate PACs, but my opponents have spent
decades in Washington collecting and saving their checks. I was only able
to compete against nearly ten million dollars in super PAC spending last
year to defend our House seat because of small dollar donations.
I’m so proud of the grassroots team we’ve built. People like me, a single
mom and relative newcomer, wouldn’t be in office without you.
Look, I know some fundraising emails can be annoying at best and spam at
worst. I’ve intentionally built our email program to be different: sharing
with you what I’m doing in California and in Congress, explaining why we
rely on your support, and yes, even sending along my favorite recipes.
I believe you are an important part of our team, and we don’t take your
support for granted.
But we can’t win this race without boosting our grassroots fundraising
numbers. Without that support we won’t have the resources we need to run
ads, hire organizers, and prepare volunteers. [ [link removed] ]So if you can, consider
stepping up and making a donation today. Your gift will make a huge
difference at this pivotal moment for grassroots funded campaign.

Thanks so much,
