John, I need to level with you.

California just passed Prop 50 -- the major redistricting reform California voters overwhelmingly supported after Donald Trump and his allies' plot to undermine our democracy.

But here’s the truth: Prop 50 just made our race a lot tougher.

The L.A. Times reports that Republicans have singled out CA-45 as one of their last real opportunities to flip a seat under the new maps.

This was already going to be one of the most competitive and expensive House races in the country. Now, it’s likely to be the only real battleground left in California. Every Republican super PAC and Trump donor is about to set their sights right here.

Frankly, I’m concerned.

That’s why we launched an emergency 48-hour fundraising push to make sure we have the resources to stay competitive under these new lines.

If you've been waiting for the best moment to have an impact on our race -- this is it. I'm humbly asking you to make your first donation of $3 to help us keep CA-45 blue.
  If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $10 Now Chip in $35 Now

Chip in $50 Now Chip in $100 Now

Chip in $250 Now Another amount

Thanks for being in this fight with me.
