Since Republicans shut down the government late Tuesday night, I’ve been thinking about the thousands of workers — including American service members — who are not receiving their paychecks and struggling to make ends meet.

And I’m thinking about the workers who have been furloughed, with no end to the shutdown in sight.

Right now, MAGA Republicans are preventing families from paying their mortgages. From putting food on the table. And for what?

All to kill Affordable Care Act benefits and jack up the cost of health care.

It’s ridiculous. We’re hearing Trump and his allies go on and on, claiming that this government shutdown is somehow on us… despite Republicans holding a majority in every branch of government.

Well, I’m not buying their BS. I’m ready to win at the negotiating table, re-open our government, and flip control of Congress — but I can’t do it without you.

If you’ve been impacted by the GOP’s shutdown, please ignore this request. But if you’re able, can you chip in just a few dollars to help me defend this toss-up seat and restore accountability to Washington next year? There’s no realistic world where we flip the House blue without winning right here in CA-47, so I really need your help.

More soon,

Dave
