John, first off, thanks so much to everyone at the PCCC for helping us hit our January fundraising goal. Unfortunately, we got some disappointing news this morning that I need to share:

1.	*Adam Schiff is running TV ads to boost* our Republican opponent, Steve Garvey.** Running an ad that highlights another candidate in a way that boosts their credibility with a certain sect of voters is a way politicians try to game the system to get an opponent they have the best chance of defeating.
	Adam Schiff is doing this because he knows he will lose to us in November if we beat Steve Garvey and advance to the general election. That's what this brazenly cynical ad is about—furthering Adam’s own political career, boxing out qualified Democratic women candidates, and boosting a Republican candidate to do it. We need honest leadership, not political games.
2.	A new USC poll released today, conducted right after last week’s debate, showed us completely tied with Steve Garvey for second place. Even after Steve Garvey’s refusal to take a single solid policy position in the debate, we’re still in a dead heat.

John, to make it to the general election, we just need to place second in the primary, but today’s news shows we’re at real risk of coming in third. Is there anything you can give right now to help us ramp up our ads and reach the voters who will decide this race?
