It's Caroline, Dr. Ruiz’s finance director.

I need to be honest with you about where things stand — and right now, it’s not good.

We’re hitting the summer slump. Every summer, our fundraising slows down, and this year, the summer slump is compounded by Californians’ fear and uncertainty about where Donald Trump is going to wreak havoc next.

And with our FEC end-of-quarter fundraising deadline just over 48 hours away, this couldn’t be happening at a worse time. If we fall short now, Republicans will pull even further ahead — and once that happens, it’s almost impossible to catch up.

I know times are tough and money is tight. But supporting candidates like Dr. Ruiz is exactly what we need to flip the House blue and get back to making real progress for California’s working people and families.

Let’s be clear: if we don’t act now, Republicans will keep pushing their agenda — threatening our communities, undermining our democracy, and holding California and our country back.

This isn’t just about one race. It’s about standing up for the values we believe in and fighting back against those who want to silence us and stall progress.

We need to come together and push past this slump — because every dollar, every voice, every moment counts.

So I’m asking: will you chip in $10 right now to help Dr. Ruiz close the gap, hit our $11,000 end-of-quarter goal, and keep this campaign on track to flip the House in 2026?
