John,

Kevin McCarthy's abrupt exit from Congress means that Governor Newsom has scheduled a Special Election to fill the vacant CA-20 seat – and it will happen RIGHT ALONGSIDE our normal spring primary.

As an important member of Team Marisa, we want you to be as informed as possible about our race. If you don’t have time to read the rest right now, will you make a quick contribution to show your support for Marisa with just two months until the Special Election? >>

Here’s our CA-20 Special Election FAQ:

❔ When is the Special General Election?

March 19, 2024. If no candidate achieves a majority vote, a Special Runoff Election between the top two vote-getters will be held on May 21, 2024.

❔ Who are the candidates?

Marisa Wood is the public school teacher and pro-democracy Democrat who’s running to prioritize Central Valley voices in Congress. Marisa is up against McCarthy's hand-picked successor, Vince Fong, who is intent on carrying out McCarthy’s legacy of chaos and neglecting our district.

❔ What’s on the line?

After decades of neglect from career politicians, the Central Valley needs a compassionate, working-class champion to deliver for us in Congress.

McCarthy’s cronies have no interest in delivering for some of California’s most-neglected communities. Luckily, Marisa is the public school teacher, grandmother, and longtime resident of our district who can get it done.

❔ How can I check if I’m registered to vote? When is the deadline to register?

You can check your voter registration status at the link here. March 4, 2024 is the last day to register to vote in the Special General Election before the conditional voter registration period.

❔ I received a vote-by-mail ballot. What is the deadline to submit my ballot?

Vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked by March 19, 2024. Hand-delivered vote-by-mail ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day at any vote center or polling location, drop box, at the office of the elections official, or at any ballot dropoff location.

We know this is a lot of information, but it’s never been more important to Get Out The Vote.

It’s critical that we get this information to as many voters as possible between now and the Special General Election in just two months. John, can you chip in today to help us share this message all across our district?
