Hey,

Since we’re approaching the end of the month, I’m sure you’re getting tons of emails just like these, so first and foremost, I want to say sorry for adding to your overflowing inbox. But I promise this is important:

After reviewing our ActBlue data, my team determined that we’ll have to slash our 2026 fundraising projections unless we see a SURGE of grassroots donations before Monday night’s FEC fundraising deadline.

This team has delivered so many times before, and I can’t thank you enough. But now, this is one of those moments when I’m counting on you to step up once more. I know it’s a lot to ask, but will you please pitch in $10 or $25 to help us get our fundraising back on track before it’s too late?

You don’t need me to tell you just how disastrous it would be if MAGA Republicans succeed in their mission to flip CA-47 red and expand their House majority.

So given the stakes of next year’s midterms, I hope you can understand why my team and I are so determined to reach this End-of-Quarter fundraising goal and show Republicans just how strong this team is when our numbers go public.

But I also want all of us to be clear-eyed about what it would mean if we fall short. If MAGA Republicans watch us miss our fundraising goal and release a disappointing FEC report, they’ll double down on their efforts (and their investments!) to flip this seat red.

We can’t risk becoming an even bigger target for MAGA Republicans. Not when this district could determine which party wins control of the House next year.

So please, is there any amount you can spare to help us get our fundraising back to where it needs to be? We’re falling about $7,500 short of our goal right now, but every donation — no matter the amount — will help us close the gap.

Thank you so much for your belief in this campaign.

Dave
