JOHN,

This team put everything and then some on the line during the 2022 election. With your support, I knew we had what it took to win. Even though national Republicans, political pundits, and the press doubted our chances.

But here’s what pundits’ “models” and “forecasts” don’t factor in: I’m willing to go anywhere and talk to anyone to win this battleground race. I can’t do it alone, though, so please contribute $10 or more to flip this seat from red to blue, defeat John James, and take back the House.

Despite being outspent 8 to 1, pummeled with attack ads, and poll after poll showing us down, we only came up short by 1,600 votes in 2022. After we came so close, everyone expected I would want a rematch against John James in 2024.

But running again was one of the toughest decisions I had to make. Did I want to subject myself and my family to an even nastier race than the last? Would I be able to count on my supporters again?

In every conversation I had, supporters like you assured me that they’d have my back. With Republicans’ smear campaign already in full force, I need your help if I’m going to have the resources it takes to win.

Can you contribute $10 or more to our first end-of-month goal so we can defeat John James, take back this seat, and restore the Democratic House majority? In a race as close as ours, every dollar matters.

Thanks for your support,

Carl Marlinga
