John, it’s Emilia. I have some good news and I have some bad news.

Let's start with the good news first: Our grassroots team is heating up as we move closer to the November Election. With the support of this strong, people-powered team, we can win this seat just like we did two years ago. 

But this is the bad news: Now that we have officially entered the General Election, time is of the essence, and we can expect my opponent to ramp up his efforts to take this seat. What we do now is going to be essential in the outcome of this election. 

I know that we can win this race and keep advocating for Northeast Ohio because we have the support of people like YOU. But I'll be honest, this election is going to be competitive. We will need all the help we can get.
