Hi John — In a moment, I’m going to ask you to chip in $10 with 10 days to go until our FEC fundraising deadline. But first, I want to explain why this deadline, the one coming up on September 30, is so important.

Running a statewide campaign in the most populous state in our country is no small feat — and it takes significant resources to reach as many voters as possible.

For the past few months, because of this grassroots team, I’ve been able to traverse the Golden State, meeting with folks from Sacramento to San Diego to connect about the issues that matter most.

Quality education 🎒. Health care 💊. Childcare 👶. Affordable housing 🏠. The climate crisis 🌳. Student loan debt 💰. Democracy 🏛️. Reproductive freedom 🗽.

But truth be told, to keep up my travels across California, we need to raise more.

The summer months slowed down our fundraising efforts, and as we look at our budget for the final quarter of the year, we’re going to have to make some tough decisions about our spending if we don’t meet our goal by September 30.

We plan our campaign’s resources quarter-by-quarter, along the deadlines set by the Federal Election Commission — and that makes this next fundraising goal especially crucial.

To keep our campaign running full steam ahead, to stay on the road meeting with voters, to maximize the impact of our field programs, I need your help over these next 10 days:

Can you pitch in $10 to help us meet, and maybe even surpass, our quarterly fundraising goal?
