John,
With 150 days to go until our primary election is over, I wanted to report to you on why these next weeks are the most critical time of the campaign. I bet that if you read on, you’ll be convinced about why this is the moment that Andrei needs your help and why he’s the candidate to support to flip AZ-01 blue. But if you’re already convinced, will you chip in to this grassroots campaign to help us gain momentum during this critical time?
We sometimes hear from folks that they want to wait to get involved in helping Andrei’s campaign – wait until after the primary, wait until the fall, wait until closer to the election. I get it. But here are three reasons why now is the time when your contribution will have the biggest impact.
#1: We need to nominate a candidate who can beat David Schweikert.
Democrats have come up heartbreakingly short before. To win, we need a nominee with the profile to build a coalition that can win this toss-up district.
Andrei’s lifetime of experience as an Arizona Assistant Attorney General prosecuting border smuggling rings, serving in uniform after 9/11, and leading a business that created thousands of jobs is exactly the background that the swing voters who will decide this race are excited about.
And because of the historic grassroots excitement for Andrei’s campaign, we have the ability to get that message out to voters. Most of Andrei’s campaign contributions have been $50 or less. But that support adds up. Today, Andrei is the only challenger in America to have outraised the incumbent he’s running against in every quarter of the campaign. We need to keep on building on that support as election day approaches.
John, will you make a grassroots contribution of any size today to help Andrei defeat extremist David Schweikert?
#2: Primaries matter.
Andrei always says that this election isn’t just about defeating David Schweikert. It’s about replacing him with someone who has a track record voters can trust to deliver for them.
Andrei knows this firsthand. He narrowly lost the primary for Congress to Kyrsten Sinema back in 2012 after trying to warn people that she was every Republican powerbroker’s favorite Democrat.
AZ-01 can’t send a Republican in Democrats' clothing to Washington. Andrei is alone in this primary field, having a lifetime of fighting for our values, priorities, and principles.
#3: The next 150 days are critical to ensuring we defeat David Schweikert.
Finally, the next 150 days are not just about winning this primary. They’re also our window of opportunity to win the general election and make this one of the just four seats Democrats need to retake control of Congress.
Arizona is one of four swing states for the election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It has one of three toss-up U.S. Senate races in America. Come September and October, the airwaves will be saturated. We need to get our message out to voters about the choice between Andrei and David Schweikert now – and not wait until the fall.
These next 150 days are crunch time for our campaign. Please give $25, $50, or whatever you can to help ensure Andrei wins so AZ-01 can finally have a proven public servant working for them in Congress.

As Andrei’s campaign manager, I want to say “thank you.” We never take the contributions you give to make our campaign possible lightly. We’re in the fight of our lives to protect American democracy and preserve our freedoms – like our basic rights to control our own bodies. And I go to work every day knowing that thousands and thousands of people are in this fight with me and with Andrei.
Yours in earnest,
Emma Gore
