John,

I’m going to say something blunt: for the first time ever, we have split the MAGA base, and we did it by doing what Democrats have refused to do for years.

Up to 40 MAGA Republicans are ready to support my Khanna Epstein Transparency Act, even though Donald Trump publicly told them not to. Some are prepared to lose his endorsement over it.

This didn’t happen by accident.

It happened because I’ve spent months:

• going on MAGA-aligned podcasts
• holding town halls in deep-red districts
• building personal relationships across the aisle, like those with Rep. Massie and even MTG
• treating MAGA voters with respect — not mockery
• making the case for transparency and economic patriotism.

Washington didn’t believe this strategy would work. But it’s working.

It’s the most consequential crack in the MAGA coalition in nearly a decade – since Trump came down his golden escalator and announced his candidacy for President. And if we can break Trump’s coalition on transparency and a government for the people, not the rich, powerful, and well-connected, we can break it on other issues too and build a broad, durable, cross-partisan governing majority.

But I need your help to keep showing up where Democrats never go.

Will you rush a split $27 to my campaign and Robert Peters to help us keep going on conservative podcasts, holding town halls in Republican districts, and building the coalition we need to defeat extremism?

We don’t take lobbyist money. We don’t take corporate money.

Our campaigns are powered entirely by grassroots supporters like you. Your contribution funds:

• travel and event logistics to reach communities that beltway insiders ignore
• promotion and organizing to bring new people into the movement
• security and operations so we can keep doing this safely and sustainably.

Together, we can reshape the political landscape in ways Washington still doesn’t understand.

Thank you for your activism and all that you do.

In solidarity,
Ro Khanna
