John,

I need you to help me send a message. I'm coming up against my first FEC deadline since it became official that former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor will be challenging me to a rematch this November.

When the quarter ends in just two days, we need our public fundraising numbers to reflect the strength of our people-powered campaign -- if they don't, national Republicans will pour resources into this toss-up race to help Taylor defeat me.

I need your support now more than ever. Will you be one of the 200 donors we need to pitch in before our critical FEC end-of-quarter deadline hits to make sure we have the resources to stay ahead of the competition?

In addition to a personal endorsement from President Trump himself, Taylor will have the full support of GOP leaders like Kevin McCarthy and outside groups seeking to take back the House.

Scott Taylor raised over $4 million to fund his last campaign, but his fundraising power isn't the only thing we have to worry about. Remember, two of his former staffers were indicted for their illegal attempts to boost a third-party candidate to try and help him win -- and Scott himself is still under criminal investigation for his potential involvement!

I flipped this seat by just 2.3 points in 2018, and defending it now will take everything we've got. I'm counting on you -- will you pitch in to my end-of-quarter fundraising goal to help us stay strong in this competitive race?

Thank you for your support,

Elaine Luria
