Friend, this is Kara Eastman, candidate for Congress in
Nebraska's 2nd District. Last year, the Democratic establishment thought a
bold progressive candidate running on Medicare For All and a Green New
Deal could never win in Nebraska.

But PCCC members believed in me, donated over $300,000 to my campaign, and
together we came within 1 point of taking out my opponent, Rep. Don Bacon,
who votes with Donald Trump 95% of the time.

I'm back this year to finish the job, and thanks to your support, today we
are one of the DCCC's highest priority races in the nation.

Last week, I joined PCCC members on a really fun Zoom call. As usual, PCCC
members had great questions for me -- including about the challenges
facing small businesses and the farming community in Nebraska, and about
campaigning in the time of the coronavirus. ([ [link removed] ]You can watch a video of
the Zoom session here.)

As I told folks on the call, we started out the year strong, out-raising
my opponent in the first 3 months of 2020, and knocking on every door in
the district before we told staff and volunteers to stay safe at home.
When the virus struck, we immediately reconfigured.

We invested in technology to make as many phone calls as possible, a
digital campaign, getting ads on TV, and in direct mail. Our hard work
paid off. Polls show us running neck-and-neck with Rep. Bacon, and even
leading with moderates and Independents!

But now the Republicans are running scared. Recently we found out that a
right-wing attack group has allocated over $1 million in TV ads this fall.

Because I've spent so much time on the phone while social distancing, I've
been having lengthy discussions with voters about issues. It's been
striking to me that in this crisis, some of the ideas that progressives
have championed for years, now people are saying -- that doesn't sound so
crazy to me anymore. Unlinking healthcare from employment. Paying people a
livable wage. People are saying "Wow, that makes some sense!"

Last week I was proud to receive Elizabeth Warren's endorsement, and the
timing is fitting. In this moment of crisis, we need more #WarrenDemocrats
in Congress than ever before. There are going to be a vast number of huge
policy changes up for consideration in the coming term, so every bold
progressive voice in Congress is critical.

My district will also be key to the presidential race since Nebraska
allocates its Electoral College votes by congressional district. Nate
Silver's FiveThirtyEight points out that my district, NE-02, could break a
269-269 Electoral College tie. Obama targeted and won here in 2008, but
it's unclear whether the Biden campaign will have the resources to do the
same in this strange year for campaigns.

That's why running a massive Democratic field operation is doubly
important for us. Every voter my team turns out to the polls is also a
vote against Donald Trump.

I am incredibly grateful for PCCC having invested in me and really
believed in me early when not everybody else did. We got so close last
time, and with your support, I know we can seal the deal this time around.
