Dear all,
Thank you to everyone who joined the second State of the Race update! If we missed you, you can find resources and information below. Don’t miss our email template, which you can pass along to your networks!
The State of the Race next week: GO CANVASS! We won’t be on Zoom, as Jessica will be out knocking on doors, AND YOU SHOULD TOO! Here is the link to sign up in your area - we have canvass launches all over the district. Don’t see one in your area but want to canvass? Reach out to Russell at [email protected] for ideas on how to plug in.
Toplines of the Week
Jessica had a phenomenal debate against opponent Kiley and held him to account for his shameful record on wildfire and abortion. You can watch the full debate here and I have included some clips of her closing statement, her plans for wildfire mitigation, holding Kiley accountable on abortion, and again on his dismal wildfire record.
Polls in the Press
Our district is turning out in a BIG way! District 3 has the second-highest Democratic turnout of all the swing seats in CA! Dems are turning out 5.1% above Republicans as of today, negating the registration advantage. Just about 125,000 votes are already in and 30,000 new ballots just today! That's similar return margins with Democrats over-performing by about 5%.
And if money talks (and votes), then we’ve got this in the bag. The Washington Post is reporting on donations by zip code - and CA 03 is out-donating Trump to Kamala 2:1!
New polling from the Public Policy Institute of California shows that “majorities favor the Democratic candidate over the Republican in House races across demographic groups and regions.” They also found that Democrats are more enthusiastic about voting for Congress this year.
…2.95 million and counting!
So far we've raised over $2.95 million dollars, thanks to people like you! Every dollar helps us spread the word. We only have 60k left to raise!!! If you can, please ask friends and family to chip in!
The email template attached here is a great way to reach out to your networks.
Or, you can donate here!

Talking Points as You Reach Out to Your Networks

-
Wildfire Expertise: With California facing wildfires as we speak, Jessica’s unique expertise in wildfire prevention and forest management is desperately needed—not just here in CA, but nationally.
-

Pro-Choice Champion: Jessica is proudly pro-choice and committed to codifying Roe in Congress—an issue supported by nearly two-thirds of her district. Meanwhile, Kiley is part of the MAGA movement working to strip away reproductive rights.
