John — 

See this? That's me on January 6: 

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

As a Marine Corps veteran, I never imagined having to use my training to
protect myself and my colleagues on the House floor.

I never imagined teaching my House colleagues how to put on a gas mask and
regulate their breathing.

I never imagined I’d be helping frightened colleagues move to safety as
insurrectionists started streaming into the Capitol.

I never imagined I’d stay behind after the Capitol security came in to do
one more sweep for colleagues who might have frozen and gone to cocoon
somewhere hard to find.

I never imagined I would ever have to teach my staff how to knock on the
door of our office a certain way to signal it was them and not some
attacker — something we did in the Marine Corps when surrounded by
insurgents and you didn’t know who was good and who was bad.

And I never imagined I’d have to text members of the House and urge them
not to get on buses ready to evacuate us from the Capitol because if we
left, we’d lose the building to the coup.

Maybe it is the Marine in me, but I will always fight for our democracy.
I'd have done it in the Capitol that day -- and I will fight as hard as I
can to win this race and keep GOP election-deniers out of the Senate.

Nothing less than our democracy is at stake in this election. If
Republicans win Arizona, they win the presidency and take control of the
Senate. We can't let that happen, and I can't do it without you.

[ [link removed] ]Can you please split $24 between No Dem Left Behind and my campaign for
the United States Senate today? Everything comes down to Arizona, and I
cannot do this without you. Please, John.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your
donation will go through immediately:

[ [link removed] ]Chip in $24 → [ [link removed] ]Chip in $48 →

[ [link removed] ]Chip in $124 → [ [link removed] ]Chip in another amount →

And as someone who joined the United States Marine Corps to defend this
country and protect our democracy, you can always count on me to be on the
front lines of this battle.

Thank you,
