Hi friend – Patty here, with a simple question:

With a remaining 37% gap to reach my $20,000 end-of-month goal tonight, is there anything I can say to convince you to pitch in?

What if I told you Republicans want to kick poor kids and families off Medicaid and food stamps to cut Elon Musk's taxes – and Democrats are the only ones fighting back?

What if I told you that I'm working in Washington state and nationwide to build the grassroots coalition it'll take to fight back in the other Washington?

Or what if I told you, honestly, that with the economic uncertainty directly set off by Trump's incompetent leadership, it's been a tough month for fundraising?

To build the grassroots infrastructure to fight Trump's pro-billionaire, anti-middle-class agenda – and to win – we need folks to chip in.

That's why, with just a few hours left until the 11:59 p.m. deadline, I'll ask one last time: will you please make a donation of $5 now, or any amount that works best for you, before the end of the day?

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Patty Murray
