John,

As we get ready for the 2024 elections, the threats to our democracy are intensifying.

From the dangerous rhetoric of political leaders to the unsettling incidents of suspicious packages targeting election offices, the very foundation of our electoral system seems like it’s under attack.

Reports of envelopes containing white powder sent to election offices in multiple states have raised alarms, signifying a blatant attempt to sow fear and chaos. At the same time, former President Donald Trump's escalating rhetoric adds fuel to the fire.

We need to stand strong against these attacks on our democratic values. Your support is crucial in supporting my work to combat disinformation, strengthen our democracy, and ensure the integrity of our elections. This is my only public fundraising deadline of the year, so everything we raise will go public. We need to raise $17,000 by December 31st, and every dollar contributes to our strength.

John, can I count on you to please chip in now to defend our democracy?

Together, we can send a powerful message that our democracy is resilient, and we won't be swayed by fear or intimidation.

This is a big moment for my campaign this year. The presidential primary election starts in just a few months (with absentee voting beginning in a matter of a few weeks) - so we have to be ready. John, that’s why I need your help. Will you please chip in $5 or more to help us hit our end-of-year goal?

Thank you for standing with us in this critical moment.

Steve
