Dear John,

Our government is currently shut down as a direct result of Donald Trump refusing to reverse devastating health care cuts — with House Republicans marching in lockstep right behind him.

We have already seen how Trump has recklessly imposed tariffs and hurt California families, denied disaster assistance to fire victims, and ordered mass arrests without warrants.

Now, the federal government has slid to a halt.

This new low in Donald Trump’s never-ending chaos is another reminder of how important it is to flip the U.S. House majority and finally put a constitutional “check” on President Trump.

But we can’t do that without stopping the Republican plot to rig next year’s midterm elections before they ever begin. That means passing Proposition 50 — the Election Rigging Response Act. Will you rush a donation to fuel our work right now?

Donald Trump and extremist Republicans are making an unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats and rig next year’s midterm elections before voting even begins.

They plan to steal enough seats to control Congress even if voters overwhelmingly reject their agenda.

Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to reverse devastating healthcare cuts. They know their backwards policies are unpopular and bad for Americans.

But they aren’t afraid to shut down the government because they think they can stack the deck with gerrymandered maps enacted by MAGA politicians.

With Prop 50, Californians have the chance to level the playing field and stop Trump’s election-rigging scheme.

The California Democratic Party is working day and night to pass Prop 50 and retake the House. Right now we are running countless canvasses, holding phonebanks six nights a week, and organizing massive outreach efforts at community events. But with just over a month until Election Day, we need to expand our efforts. Will you rush a donation of $35 or more right now?

Thank you,
