John: Ballots go out to California voters next week – but despite the urgency, I'm not on track to meet my $100,000 end-of-month goal. I truly cannot afford to fall even a penny short, but here's where things stand: 

John, as someone who has continuously been ranked as one of the most progressive members of Congress, I can bring about the change that we deserve in the Senate. I can be the additional vote we need to finally abolish the filibuster, address economic injustice and pass crucial legislation like restoring abortion access nationwide.

But I'm up against opponents who are sitting on MILLIONS, and if I don't get more resources ASAP, they may drown me out. 

Polling shows that as many as 20% of California voters are still undecided just over a month out from election day, so this is truly still anyone's race. That's why I'm focusing all of my efforts on expanding my voter outreach efforts on the ground. 

But if I miss this fundraising goal – my FINAL end-of-month deadline before ballots go out – I'll have to make tough decisions, like pulling back our efforts to reach California voters. 

John, this close to election day, every choice we each make is incredibly impactful. It could be your $5 donation that helps us knock on just enough doors, call just enough voters or run just enough ads to push this campaign – and our movement – across the finish line.

Please, will you rush $5 or more right now to help me reach enough voters and build a progressive future for all of us?

Thank you for standing with me in this fight.
