Folks,

National Republicans just DEFEATED Democrats in a crucial special election:

CNBC: Republican Mike Garcia flips Democratic-held House seat in California

In 2018, Democrats won CA-25 with just 54.4% of the vote -- flipping one of the last Republican strongholds in the deep-blue state and helping to secure our House majority.

Democratic Assemblywoman Christy Smith fought hard to hold this seat against outside groups desperate to take this swing-district back and a Republican opponent who President Trump personally rooted for on Twitter. But the GOP came out on top.

This loss is a major warning that Frontline Democrats like Sean -- and our House majority -- are in danger this November. We can't take anything for granted -- will you chip in to our people-powered campaign to make sure we have the resources to defend this battleground seat?

Trump and national Republicans are taking a huge victory lap after pulling off a win in a deep-blue state like California.

They see it as a sign that red-to-blue districts like IL-06 are theirs for the taking -- which means they'll be pouring even more resources into unseating vulnerable first-term Democratic members of Congress like Sean.

Sean was the first Democrat to win this district in nearly half a century, so he's a top target for the GOP in 2020. Will you pitch in to his re-election campaign today to help keep him in Congress?

Let's show them that we're ready to fight back,
