Friend, when I was first thinking about launching this campaign last year I had no idea what to expect.

I knew I had some supporters from my congressional campaigns that I could count on, but beyond that it was a shot in the dark.

One thing I knew for sure was that whether this was a 2-way race, a 3-way race, a 27-way race, whatever — I was going to need the support of a huge grassroots team behind me. Over the last year we’ve built that team, with close to 150,000 individual donors.

And now we know: Sinema’s out. This race is a head-to-head between me and Kari Lake. And we've got to expand out that grassroots team and build a coalition here in Arizona that can defeat her.

I believe that we can. But I can’t do it alone. So today, I’m asking you, very humbly, to make a donation to my campaign.

Please, split a $5 or $10 donation between David Trone and my campaign. Whatever you can afford can help us build the team that’s going to win in Arizona. Your support is critical to defeating Kari Lake and holding our Senate majority.

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be split between Ruben Gallego and David Trone immediately.

Thanks a lot for this. I really appreciate it.

Ruben
