Hey, folks. A few weeks ago I did an interview with CNN about the presidential race and why defeating Donald Trump should be – must be – our #1 priority.

I realize I’m preaching to the choir here when it comes to Donald Trump. You know what kind of person he is: a bad one. He's cruel and vindictive; a self-adjudicated rapist who lacks empathy and suffers from delusions of grandeur.

We know all that, but still, it’s worth reminding ourselves every so often what’s really at stake this November.

January 6th was a sneak peak of our collective future. The only reason our democracy persisted beyond that day was because Democrats had control of Congress. If Trump’s toadies had been in charge, this country would look very different today.

The next couple of months are a matter of democracy’s survival. Expect that Donald Trump will go full scorched-earth to avoid defeat. But America has triumphed over a Mad King before, and I’m confident we can do it again this November.

So please, folks, consider chipping in $10 or $15 to help me defend this seat, flip the House blue, and continue leading the fight for democracy in Washington. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and I’m really counting on your support.

Thank you,
Sean Casten
