On the campaign trail, John, I’m often struck by the real frustrations that folks in our community share over the impact of big money in politics.

The fact is that special interests have an outsized influence in the political process -- period. For that reason alone, it’s incumbent upon candidates and elected officials alike to work to restore the people’s voice in our democracy. That’s why, John, I’m proud that our campaign is a people-powered operation -- one that rejects corporate PAC money and seeks to eliminate corporate influence on our government.

What this means is that my campaign is dependent on contributions from committed folks like you, John. So I’m asking you personally to invest in progress today and put people (not special interests!) first in Washington.

While our campaign works to send a clear message about the power of people to effect positive change, my opponent Young Kim has made her antipathy toward progress clear.

John, Young Kim has accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from insurance companies and other special interests. That’s why some of the most dangerous Republican Super PACs are so eager to support her candidacy: She’s committed to helping the rich get richer -- even if it means leaving working families behind.

Now more than ever, it’s imperative that our government is elected by the people, for the people. If it’s within your means, John, I hope that you’ll chip in a donation of any amount today to prove that I can win again without corporate special interest money.
