I'll be direct, John.
In this email, I’m going to ask you to make a donation to my campaign for Governor of California in 2026. But first, I want to explain why this request is so important – especially today.
The end of Gavin Newsom's term may seem far off, but next month already marks a critical reporting deadline for our campaign.
This is will be first time we are legally required to report our fundraising numbers publicly.
I can't stress enough just how important it is to send a message of widespread, early support. The good news is the backing we've received so far has been overwhelming, but we need to keep the momentum going.
So I need to ask:
If you haven't yet, please make your first $3 donation to my campaign, and please know that I would not ask if it wasn’t important.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
I’ve been on the road all year, and people across the state are telling me California is more out of balance than ever.
I know you feel it too.
The cost of housing, food, education, childcare and elder care is all increasingly out of reach. California’s future is in our hands, and it’s going to take all of us coming together to make it add up for us again.
Sincerely,
Betty
