Friend – It’s Derek Tran.

I’m a veteran, consumer rights advocate, and small business owner, and I’m still in the fight to flip California’s 45th District – an ultra-competitive, Republican-held district in Southern California – from red-to-blue.

I wanted to reach out and give you an update on our race: We just took the lead, but only 102 votes separate us and our opponent.

Every ballot drop has brought us closer to taking the lead in this toss-up race, but victory is going to come down to counting every single vote.

We need to make sure every vote is counted in order to win, so I have to ask for your support. Will you split a contribution between our legal fund and Senate Fight Fund to help us count every vote? Any contribution would go a long way in making sure every voice is heard.

Thank you for standing by me,

Derek
