									 Friend, when I joined the Marines, I signed up to serve my country.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 I’m the child of immigrants, the first generation. This country gave me everything, and I felt like I needed to give back. I swore to defend our Constitution, our democracy, from all enemies — foreign and domestic.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 But when I signed up, I never thought this was how things would end up.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 Over the last several years, the most insidious threats to our Constitution have emerged at home. It’s people like Donald Trump and his “MAGA Queen” Kari Lake — who are openly advocating for violence and repression, tearing down our elections and laying the groundwork for dictatorship and authoritarian rule.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 If they win, it could mean the end of our Republic. I’m sorry to say this, but it can happen here. We can stop them, but it’s going to take a ton of hard work. And Arizona will be the frontline in the fight for our democracy.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 If we’re going to win, if we’re going to defeat Kari Lake, and if we’re going to stop Trump from winning back the White House, I need your help.  
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									 Can you make a split donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate in Arizona and Catherine Cortez Masto's and help us build the infrastructure we need to win across the state? 
									 | 
								
								
									| 
									
									 If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation between Ruben Gallego and Catherine Cortez Masto will go through immediately:

									| 
									 Thank you for having my back,  
									 |
