John, before I ask for your $1 weekly donation until Election Day, I have to give you the no-frills, just the facts account of the state of the race:
In the Senate, Democrats hold a razor-thin 51-49 majority. Senator Manchin is retiring, and we expect West Virginia to flip red. That puts us at a tie-breaking 50-50 Senate majority with the vice president’s vote — if we win in California, hold every other seat, and win the White House.
In the House, Republicans have their smallest majority in decades. There are more competitive seats in California alone than Republicans have votes to spare nationwide. California may be the most important state for the House majority.
And in the race for the White House, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are polling in practically a dead heat.
John, our momentum is peaking at the right time. But after my opponent Steve Garvey outraised my campaign by $1.2 million in the latest FEC reports, we’ve had to work overtime to make up lost ground.
With our final FEC quarterly deadline of the election at the end of September, this month is critical to closing the fundraising gap with my opponent. Can you start making a weekly donation of $1 or whatever you can afford today?
Please use the links in this email to start a weekly donation through ActBlue.
Weekly donations between now and Election Day are the most impactful donations we receive — helping my team plan our budget, voter outreach, and communications efforts.
There really is no donation more meaningful, and no time more critical, than your weekly donation right now. So I hope you will. It means everything. Truly.
