John, I’m asking you for $5.

Here’s why: This race may be one of the most expensive Senate primaries in our nation's history, and I entered this race at a severe fundraising deficit compared to other candidates. So if I'm going to build the resources I need to win, I'll need to make up ground – quickly.

I know $5 doesn't sound like much, but that's how this team helped raise over a million dollars in a single month. Because when hundreds of people like you join our team with even $5, we build a powerful and unstoppable movement.

But here's the problem: We were outraised last quarter by two other candidates in this race who brought in over $10 million combined.

That's why I've set a goal to raise another $20,000 before midnight TONIGHT, but we’re currently on track to fall about $6,300 short. This couldn't be happening at a worse time, John: MAGA extremists and Fox News have already smeared my name in an effort to stall my momentum. And with more attacks surely on the horizon, missing this goal is not an option.

In the time that it's taken you to read this email, six people have already donated $5 to join our team, but I’m still counting on you to chip in too, John.

So please, don’t wait another moment. Will you give $5 or more to power our progressive movement to victory and build a country that works for all of us?

Thank you,

Barbara Lee
