John, it’s Tekesha.
The last public filing before my primary tomorrow just dropped, and I have bad news.
My out-of-district multi-millionaire opponent just loaned her campaign ANOTHER half a million dollars.
That might seem insurmountable, but my team has crunched the numbers and we can still win this thing if 325 Democrats make a contribution to my campaign TODAY. And every single penny will go to maximizing our voter outreach.
Please John – if we don’t respond immediately with a surge of grassroots donations, we could LOSE this race tomorrow. Will you rush $25 right now to help our people-powered campaign WIN? >>
In Solidarity,
Tekesha Martinez

Hey John – remember when I told you that after our FEC filing deadline last month, our fundraising numbers would go public? Well, my opponents’ numbers did, too – and we just found something you need to hear.
My multi-millionaire opponent isn’t just able to write her campaign huge checks. She’s doing it. According to her public filing, she loaned her campaign $550,000.
Now, I’m sure all kinds of pundits and wannabes will jump at the chance to tell you what this means for the race. But let me tell you what I see:
The power of our grassroots movement has my opponent so scared that she had to run home to her mansion and write herself a check just to keep up with us!
In fact, our people-powered campaign has raised more money from donations of less than $200 than any other candidate in this race. Of any party.
The only place my opponents can beat us is at the bank – but if we don’t catch up, they can still beat us at the ballot box.
That’s why I send you emails like these, so you know how to stay involved and keep us pushing ahead. We have to fight back with every second we have, so I need you to step up in this second with an emergency donation.
Please John – will you rush $25 right now to make sure my opponents don’t buy MD-06 out from under the people-powered movement we’re building? >>
Together,
Tekesha
