Hi John, it's Katie.

I know you probably didn't wake up today thinking you'd make a donation to my campaign. But if you'll give me just a moment, I want to explain why it would mean so much if you pitched in today:

Election Day might be over a year away, but in a very real sense, this race has already begun.

Donald Trump has already endorsed BOTH of my likely Republican opponents — and one of them is already spending millions of dollars on TV ads.

The fact that all this is happening over a year from Election Day shows exactly how high the stakes are in this race.

Most people won't start tuning in to this election until it's time to head to the polls. But in 2022, I won by less than one percentage point.

That means what we do right now — in the so-called “off-year” — will play a pivotal role in deciding the outcome.

Our mid-quarter fundraising deadline is at midnight tonight, and my team just told me we’re still 250 grassroots donations short of our goal. Will you pitch in today to help us catch up?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thanks for stepping up to help us defend our progress,

Katie
