 John, I have to share something alarming with you about my Senate race: My MAGA Republican opponent Steve Garvey outraised our campaign last quarter — by over $1 million. 
 This is what we've faced: Steve Garvey, jumping on Donald Trump’s fundraising momentum from the summer, comes out in support of the former president and fundraises off the Trump trial. He outraises us. GOP super PACs, willing to spend big to create a red wave this November, start cutting big checks to flood the airwaves across California to win competitive House races. MAGA leaders, wanting to see me defeated, point to Steve Garvey and California as a new opportunity to flip (and to pitch in contributions). We must ensure that Democrats up and down the ballot in California succeed so we can hold the Senate AND win the House. Especially considering that the election is less than 10 weeks away. And Californians will begin voting in even less time.

 As Democrats, we have overcome what have felt like insurmountable challenges before, and I know we can do it again. Let’s make the most of the last days of our August deadline to close our fundraising gap and restore our momentum. Thank you for being in this with me, Adam
