I won’t sugarcoat it, John: Last week, we fell short of our crucial $100,000 end-of-month goal — and the timing couldn’t be worse.

A new poll shows me statistically tied with Trump Republican Joe Lombardo. That’s no accident — it’s proof that when we fight for working families, Nevadans respond. But any loss of momentum now will let Lombardo and his MAGA allies pour millions into attacks meant to drown out our message.

John, I personally know what’s at stake. I grew up in a family that worked hard but struggled to make ends meet. We depended on programs like free school meals — the same kind of support Lombardo vetoed when he blocked universal school meals for Nevada kids.

I’m in this race to ensure no child in our state grows up hungry, and no family has to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table.

Will you chip in $5 — or as much as you can spare — to help us close this budget gap, fight back against GOP attacks, and flip Nevada’s Governor’s seat blue?

Republicans are about to flood this race with millions of dollars, and I need you with me.

Thank you for coming through.
