Team, I just got a phone call that made my heart sink: National Republicans just announced they reserved $141 MILLION in attack ads against Democrats — and nearly $3 MILLION of that will be spent against me.

If I want any chance of setting the record straight, stopping Don Bacon from barging into power for another two years, and saving our country from MAGA extremism, I’m going to need every single grassroots supporter to step up in this critical moment. Can I count on you to split a $25 donation between my campaign and Fair Shot PAC to show Republicans they can’t buy this seat? >>

I cannot overstate the gravity of this situation:

This campaign has come too far to let Don Bacon’s DC cronies buy him this seat.

But if I stay massively outspent and let Republicans’ attack ads go unanswered, I could lose this race.

Folks, if I can rally my grassroots supporters to raise 813 gifts before midnight, we can send Bacon and his dark money donors an unmistakable message that this race can’t be bought. Can I count on your split donation of $25 ASAP? >>

I’ll be blunt: How you respond in these next 12 hours will determine if I can fight back.

– Either I raise enough to respond to MAGA Republicans’ attacks on TV…

– Or I let them go unanswered – and risk losing this race and our chance to take back the House for Democrats.

I can’t waste a second. As you read this email, Don Bacon and his allies are buying up all the air time they can to attack me. I need to raise 813 gifts before midnight, or I can’t fully fund my response campaign. So please, could you split a $25 donation between Fair Shot PAC and my campaign in this crucial make-or-break moment? >>

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Fair Shot PAC and Tony Vargas will go through immediately:

Thank you for acting quickly,

Tony
