Hi, team —

I’m bumping the earlier email from the team because we must close our fundraising gap ASAP.

Even with all the momentum and enthusiasm around Kamala Harris and Tim Walz facing off against low-energy Trump and odd JD Vance, we cannot rest up for a moment.

The stakes in this election are too high to cross our fingers and hope for the best. Republicans have weird but hazardous policies to take our country backward.

A quick scan of the 900-page Project 2025 proposals highlights how widespread their MAGA insanity is. I’d howl with laughter if their scheming wasn’t deadly serious.

So let’s do this, {[FirstName or 'team'}}. Please take a moment to pitch in and help us close our fundraising gap before the DNC starts on Monday.

Thank you for your unwavering support,

— Eric

Team —

We’ll get straight to the point: We can’t afford to fail to meet our August fundraising goals.

Low-energy Donald Trump and weird JD Vance can see the writing on the wall, so they’re frantically reaching out to their billionaire MAGA buddies like Elon Musk, asking them to pony up.

The Trump campaign is hoping against hope that massive cash infusions will help close the enthusiasm gap. (Spoiler alert: It won’t!)

But Eric and his Democratic colleagues must be prepared for every possibility. We know the MAGA playbook. We’re not taking anything for granted heading into the home stretch.

Team, we’re halfway through the final quarter of fundraising before Election Day. Our fundraising results must demonstrate grassroots strength, enthusiasm, and vigor.

Can you make a donation right now to help us raise $4,000 and close our fundraising gap by the time the Democratic National Convention opens on Monday?

We can’t give Trump, Vance, and MAGA candidates any advantage, friend. None. It’s time to end their days of attacking our democracy and threatening to impose their un-American 'Project 2025' agenda.

Thanks for pitching in,

— Team Swalwell
