It's Raul.

I wish I didn’t have to send this, but it’s the last day of the quarter, and we’re still behind on our $11,000 end-of-quarter fundraising goal.

I know, everyone’s inbox is full of emails like this right now. But this one’s important — because if we fall short tonight, it’s going to make the road ahead even harder.

I’ll be straight with you: CA-25 could be the difference between flipping the House or watching Trump and the GOP tighten their grip even more in 2026.

Seriously.

Trump gained 13 points here since 2020, and we’re already seeing Republicans lining up to take a shot at this seat. They know if they can flip this seat, it gets a whole lot harder for Democrats to take back the House.

We’ve held strong here for seven terms — but we’re not immune. And we definitely can’t outspend them. They’ve got billionaires, super PACs, and dark money rolling in. But we've got each other.

This campaign runs on small-dollar donations — people giving what they can, when they can. That’s the only way we can stay in this fight. And right now, with just hours left until the quarter ends, we need a big push to close the gap.

So, will you chip in $10 before midnight to help us protect this seat and get us one step closer to flipping the House in 2026? >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ruiz-em-fr-june25
