Hi John — did you see the below email?

As Finance Director for the California Democratic Party, it’s my job to crunch the numbers and ensure we have the needed budget before saying “GO” to any new initiative.

And here’s the blunt truth: Right now we are a little bit short of our goal.

When I talk to donors on the phone, I often hear that because California trends blue at the Presidential level, people forget the importance of our state in other razor-tight elections.

But right now, political analysts, the media, and even *Republicans* themselves are saying the same thing — control of the U.S. House will come down to California. So reaching our fundraising goal here couldn’t be more urgent.

That’s why I’m personally reaching out to ask for a contribution of $20.24, $50, or whatever you can donate. Will you help? I’m dropping my personal ActBlue link below. I hope to see your contribution come in.

Appreciatively,
- Camille

Subject: Filling you in on Kevin McCarthy’s seat

It's official: Kevin McCarthy is resigning from Congress, effective Dec. 31. That means there will be a special election to decide who fills his seat. If Democrats could flip this seat from red to blue, that would bring us just INCHES away from taking back the U.S. House. The special election will happen fast. Will you rush a donation right now so that our team at the California Democratic Party can prepare to flip Kevin McCarthy’s open seat? >> CHIP IN $15 >> Flipping Kevin McCarthy’s seat won’t be easy, but this week there was some breaking news that gives us a solid shot. Take a look >> Kevin McCarthy’s anointed replacement is having trouble even getting on the ballot. He’s likely to be mired in legal challenges for weeks — which gives us the chance to get an early head start. But we can’t capitalize on that headstart without the necessary budget. That’s why we’re aiming to raise $15,000 before midnight on Thursday. Will you please rush a donation of $15 or $35 right now? CHIP IN $5 >> CHIP IN $15 >> CHIP IN $35 >> CHIP IN $55 >> CHIP IN $105 >>   Thanks for getting in on the ground floor of this effort! - The political strategy team at the California Democratic Party   P.S. Can you imagine the look on Kevin McCarthy’s face when the seat he held for so many years is flipped blue by a Democrat thanks to grassroots support from donors like you? Let’s make it happen — chip in a donation right now.
