Twenty-one. That’s how many emails my team sent you last month.

The reality of a serious political campaign, John, is that it takes money to amplify the reasons I’m in this race at all: Expanding access to affordable healthcare, protecting your earned benefits like Medicare and Social Security, and working to strengthen our economy in Southwest Washington by investing and providing family wage jobs.

We’re building this political moment in Southwest Washington dollar-by-dollar, donor-by-donor -- and we’re doing it without one cent from corporate PACs. So it’s important that you know just how grateful I am to you for helping us exceed our February fundraising goal!

You’re the reason I’m in this race, and you’re the reason that we’re going to win. Thank you, John, for giving us the fortitude and funding to run the strongest grassroots operation imaginable.

With deep gratitude for you -- for all that you’ve done and all that you’ll do with us,

-- Carolyn
