John, this is a longer email about my journey of public service. If you can’t read the whole thing, please consider chipping in $10 to my Democratic campaign for Congress (I have a big deadline tonight) »

John, the first thing you need to know about me is I am committed to public service. And that starts with my family – I am the son and grandson of veterans. I proudly followed in their footsteps and joined the US Navy after high school.

Anothing thing – I know the value of hard work. I was raised in a middle-class family. My mom was a public school cafeteria worker. Those values have always driven me to do the best I can for my family, and my country.

Lastly, I have always fought for progressive policies. As a Member of Congress, I stood up to Trump’s hateful policies, fought for reproductive rights, and championed gun safety. Later, I served under President Biden in the federal government where I fought for expanded healthcare and abortion rights for our servicemembers.

Now, I’m working to get back to Congress. In a MAGA majority, we need strong Democrats to stand up for Americans more than ever. And I’m ready for that fight.

I need your help, John. The path to victory won’t be easy. Can I count on you to chip in $10 to help me get to Congress? We have a big $10,000 goal we need to reach by midnight. »

Thanks so much,

— Gil Cisneros
