John,

These are tough times and it’s easy to be demoralized.

Democrats are being outraised for the first time in years and Republicans are building a record-breaking war chest to hold onto power. Meanwhile, it feels like every day we see a new assault on our democracy.

Donald Trump and Republicans are counting on people like you to feel overwhelmed and step back. We need to prove them wrong.

The stakes of this election are real. Health care, support for working families and even our democracy are all on the line. This is one of the most competitive districts in the country, and holding it is key to taking back the House.

That’s why every contribution matters. Giving to my campaign is one concrete way you can take action today. It helps us reach voters, respond to attacks, and defend this seat. If you can, please chip in $10 or more today. Even a small contribution makes a real difference.

Thank you for standing with me and helping keep this district blue.
