Dr. Ruiz just sent a powerful message — and we need you to hear it.

Republicans are flooding this race with dark money, trying to buy CA-25 — and if they succeed in flipping this seat, it will be a huge setback for our communities, California, and the whole country.

Our $11,000 end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is just days away, and we have to match their spending dollar-for-dollar before then.

If you can, please chip in $10 today. It’s how we keep this campaign strong and stop Republicans from buying this seat.

---------- Forwarded message from Dr. Raul Ruiz ----------

It's Raul.

With the end-of-quarter deadline just days away, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you — because what’s happening in CA-25 right now matters deeply for the future of our state and our country.

Republicans see this seat as flippable, and they’re already spending big to attack me. They think they can buy their way back into power, but I know Californians are fired up and ready to keep CA-25 blue.

Let’s be clear: if they succeed here, the consequences will be devastating — not just for this district, but for California as a whole.

We’ve already seen the damage Republicans are willing to inflict. Donald Trump is back and already wreaking havoc, from threatening to withhold disaster aid, to attacking how we manage our land and water and using fear and force to try to silence Californians. And this is only the beginning.

Now, with the House up for grabs, Republicans see an opportunity to flip this seat and give Trump the unchecked power he’s already reaching for.

I won’t let that happen. But we can’t take anything for granted — not with this much dark money flooding into the race.

We need to stand together and hit our $11,000 end-of-quarter fundraising goal. That’s how we show we’re not going anywhere and that this district, and this state, won’t be pushed around.

So I’m asking: will you chip in $10, $25, or whatever you can to help us keep CA-25 blue and keep California moving forward, not backwards?

This is our moment to prove what we’re made of. Let’s meet it — together.
