We know this is an unprecedented and difficult moment for many families, so please only pitch in if you can afford to give. It’s more important for you to take care of yourself and your loved ones in this emergency.

Folks,

My team is busy doing everything they can to make sure we reach our end-of-quarter goal on Tuesday, so I told them I would reach out to a few of our top supporters and ask for help, too. But before I do, I owe you an explanation.

Our FEC fundraising goal helps determine our budget, allocate our resources, and keep us on track for the year.

Now that 2020 is in full swing, it’s absolutely critical we meet every single fundraising deadline from here until Election Day to have the necessary resources to grow and sustain our progressive movement.

That’s why I’m asking: can you add a donation to our campaign before our first 2020 filing deadline on Tuesday? I only want you to pitch in if you can afford to at this time. Every dollar matters to me personally and anything you can contribute today will go a long way.

I’m focused on doing everything I can to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot in tough races across our country.

Thank you for supporting me.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
