Hi John — it's Democrat Janelle Bynum, and EMILYs List said I could reach out.

I'm a State Representative, small business owner, mother of four, and the official Democratic nominee running to unseat extreme Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-Deremer in Oregon's 5th Congressional District.

I've defeated Lori Chavez-Deremer twice before, and I'm prepared to do it again in November, flipping this seat from red to blue and taking back the House majority.

It's going to take a full team effort to win, so please, will you split a donation between EMILYs List and my campaign today? Every single dollar goes a long way in helping us kick off the general election on the strongest note possible.

John, here's why this election matters:

→ OR-05 has been deemed a pure TOSS UP and called one of the most flippable seats in the entire country.

→ Democrats only need to flip four seats to take back the House majority from anti-abortion, anti-democracy Republican extremists — and we're one of them.

→ I've defeated Lori Chavez-Deremer twice before, and I know we have what it takes to win again in November.

That's why I'm coming to you, personally, to ask for your support in this toss-up race. If Democrats are going to take back the House majority, we need to flip OR-05.

Please, if you're able, will you split a donation between EMILYs List and my campaign to help me flip OR-05, restore the Democratic House majority, and deliver for working families across the country? Every single dollar goes a long way on a grassroots campaign like ours.

Thank you so much. We can't do this without you!

Janelle
