Hi, it’s Congressman Robert Garcia, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.

I need to level with you.

Because of California’s redistricting, I’ll be running for re-election in a brand new 42nd Congressional District. It’s tougher, it’s more competitive, and Republicans are already eyeing it as one of their best chances to flip a seat in California.

That’s why I set an ambitious goal: $4,200 in grassroots contributions before midnight tonight. If we can hit that mark, we’ll prove we have the strength to take on whatever Republicans throw at us in CA-42.

Dozens of grassroots supporters have already rushed to help me reach this goal, but with just a few hours left until the deadline, I’m just under 25 donations short. I know these mid-month deadlines might not seem important, but they’re how we show the GOP we’re serious. And I can’t do it without you.

So I’m asking: Can you chip in $10, $25, or $42 right now to help us close the gap before the deadline? Every donation matters.
