John,

I’m not sure how you’re planning to spend your weekend (I hope it involves a lot of good R&R), but I’ll be hard at work on two things: 1. Working for my district and protecting my constituents from Trump’s worst plans; 2. Retaking the majority, by way of Michigan. Before you head off to your weekend plans, I’m hoping you might consider throwing just a few extra dollars our way to help support what we’re doing here. Here’s the state of play.

First, I’m already facing two Republican opponents, and national Republicans are circling. The DeVos family, Donald Trump, and their deep-pocketed allies are gearing up to flood Michigan with millions of dollars to flip seats like ours. We held this seat through one of the toughest election cycles in decades, but defending it again – and defending Michigan – will take all of us.

Second, now in my second term, I’m not just working for myself — I’m working to help dozens of other members and candidates across the country, so that we can retake the majority, especially right here in Michigan. We just need three seats to retake the majority, and we have three competitive seats here in Michigan. So, I’m not only fundraising for myself, but to help others.

That’s why I’m asking you to chip in before our end-of-quarter deadline. Thanks to a generous group of supporters, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5,000.

We don’t have billionaires bankrolling this campaign – our success cycle to cycle has been because of you. So, John, if you’re able, please consider making a matched donation today:

Thanks for standing with me.

Hillary
