Hi, it's Raul.

This is tough. I was hoping for a different outcome, but we fell short of our July fundraising goal.

Fighting an uphill battle is exhausting, I know. But right now, the stakes are just too high for us not to stay vigilant.

Donald Trump and his Republican allies are pushing their dangerous agenda forward at full speed — dismantling our democracy, destabilizing our economy, and gutting critical services like healthcare access.

They may have control right now, but there's still a lot we can do.

I want to remind you — I'm here to fight for YOU. Whether it's affordability or healthcare access, I will do everything I can to protect and advance the issues you care about.

I'm calling out Republican extremists, voting against their harmful bills in Congress, and moving forward on bipartisan legislation where possible.

But our efforts are limited until we flip the House and get Republican chaos under control. That's where you come in.

Donald Trump gained 13 points in CA-25 from 2020 to 2024, and Republicans see that as an opportunity. They're already loading up their candidates with big money.

We can't risk losing this seat, and we need to stay on track with our fundraising goals so we have the resources to take on Republican challengers in 2026.

If everyone who reads this email donated just $5 today, we would make up for where we fell short on our July fundraising goal.

So, will you chip in $5 today to help us get back on track to flipping the House blue and stop the out-of-control Republican agenda?

— Raul
