John, I'm reaching out to you personally to ask for your help today:

When I first launched my campaign for U.S. Senate, grassroots Democrats like you came out in droves to support me. You heard the experts say that I was at a serious fundraising deficit and knew what had to be done. And now, I'm gaining ground.

But Fox News and MAGA extremists are working hard to wipe away ALL of my momentum and smear my name. I've got thick skin, but that doesn't change the fact that the GOP is prepared to spend MILLIONS to keep a progressive leader like me from representing California in the Senate.

That's why I've set a $150,000 mid-month fundraising goal – because I never back down from a tough fight. Yes, I know it's ambitious, but that's what it'll take for me to fend off the GOP's well-funded attacks and pick up momentum in this critical stage of the race.

John, it's going to take serious resources to spread our progressive message and win, so I’m counting on every single person reading this email to help me with a grassroots donation before my mid-month deadline ends tomorrow at midnight.

Please, will you rush $5 or more right now to help me reach my mid-month goal and win in California? Every dollar you give will go directly toward fueling our progressive movement to victory.

Thank you for being an integral part of my grassroots campaign to win in California.
