John,

I'm Kristen McDonald Rivet, and I'm the Democrat running for the crucial seat in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District. We just launched our campaign and we need to raise a lot of money – quickly – to get our campaign off the ground. That’s why I’m reaching out to you, asking for immediate support.

If you’re already with me and ready to defend this tossup seat, can you rush a contribution to my campaign and the Voter Protection Project?

Here’s the situation – we're in a high-stakes, tightly contested race to fill the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Rep. Dan Kildee. To win, it's vital that we show the strength of our grassroots support now.

This isn't just another election; it’s a battle for the values we hold dear in Michigan and across the nation. While National Republicans are going to invest heavily in this race, we rely on grassroots supporters like you to build a strong, people-powered campaign.

Holding this seat is critical to protect if we want to flip the House blue in 2024. Will we stand for the Michigan Dream – a promise of hard work leading to a better life – or will we let divisive politics prevail?

We have to hit the ground running to make sure we can keep this seat blue, and every contribution matters. Can you split a donation today between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project?

Thank you for being part of this critical moment.

Kristen McDonald Rivet
Candidate for Congress (MI-08)
