John,

The news has been heavy, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disheartened. And if your inbox is anything like mine, I’m sure you get a lot of doom and gloom emails about it too.

Well, this isn’t one of those emails. Because while the challenges we face are real and at times, overwhelming, I’ve never been more hopeful about what we can achieve together.

Because even in moments of deep uncertainty, I still believe in our ability to come together and fight for something better. And I find strength in the people I meet across this district — parents, teachers, veterans, small business owners — people who are tired of the chaos and dysfunction in Washington and who remind me why this work matters so much.

It’s because of them that I know we have what it takes to make real change. Together, we can build a future that puts working families first, strengthens our schools, and ensures every person has a chance to succeed. The road ahead won’t be easy, but when we stand together, I believe we can overcome anything.

That’s why I’m asking for your help today. Every bit of support helps us keep pushing forward, and together, we can create the kind of progress that makes a real difference in people’s lives.

If you’re with me, please consider pitching in $10 or whatever you can before our end-of-quarter deadline on Tuesday. Every dollar makes a difference in this fight.

I'm so grateful for your support, John.

Valerie Foushee
