Friend,
Look, Peter Zieve is just one example of the powerful corporate special interests who are planning to do whatever they can to defeat me and buy this office.
Let me give you another example: 5-Hour Energy. I won a multi-million dollar consumer protection lawsuit against them. They weren’t happy.
In response, they immediately pledged millions of dollars to a dark money PAC (known as the Republican Attorneys General Association). But they had one condition for their donation — that the PAC must be willing to use that money to defeat Democratic Attorney General incumbents like me.
And now I'm facing multiple Republican opponents, who are already featured on the Republican Attorney Generals website.
This isn’t going to be an easy fight. Can I count on your support?
Here’s a personalized link to give directly towards my fundraising goal. We have until tomorrow at midnight:

Friend — I want you to know exactly what we're up against this year.
Powerful special interests, GOP mega-donors and Trump loyalists are making large contributions to my opponents to get back at me for standing up for what’s right.
Take Peter Zieve, for example.
Zieve, the owner of multi-million dollar corporation Electroimpact, sent an email to his employees suggesting that Middle Eastern refugees are “terrorist savages” and encouraged his mostly white, male workers to marry and procreate so this country won’t be “backfilled with rubbish.” Those who followed his advice received bonuses.
I filed a civil rights lawsuit against Electroimpact and Zieve was forced to pay nearly half a million dollars to resolve his discriminatory policies.
Guess what? Zieve just made a maximum $4,000 donation to one of my opponents. This happens to be the same opponent who recently invested $10,000 of his own money into his campaign. Unlike my opponent, I won’t accept donations from someone who violates our civil rights laws.
I need your help to meet our goal of matching my opponent’s $10,000 personal donation by Thursday at midnight. Will you contribute towards our fundraising goal?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately by clicking a button below. Otherwise, you will be redirected to a donation page.
You’ll be shocked (shocked!) to learn that Zieve is one of Trump’s top donors — he gave more than $1 million dollars in 2016.
How much do you think he’d spend in dark money to defeat the Attorney General who exposed his discriminatory conduct and cost him nearly half a million dollars?
We can’t let anyone buy this office. It’s too important.
With your support, I will continue working to enforce our civil rights laws against people like Peter Zieve — but I can’t do it alone. Can I count on you to help me meet this goal by making a contribution of $25 today?
Thank you for supporting the critical work we do. None of this would be possible without you.
Bob
Our top priority is slowing the spread of COVID-19. Consequently, we canceled all in-person campaign events for the foreseeable future and are relying on digital outreach. We appreciate your support during this challenging time.
