John,

In a moment, I’m going to ask you for a $3 donation to my campaign for Governor. It's not easy asking so soon after the holiday, but I hope you'll let me share why this request is so important – especially now.

This may surprise you, but the end of this month marks a critical fundraising deadline for our campaign.

We will be six months out from our election. When our fundraising report goes public, we need everyone to see that our campaign has what it takes to win. And we need your help to do it.

Our allies, opponents, the press – even party leaders all want to know if we have the necessary breadth of support headed into the election year.

Endorsements are on the line – right now – as is our ability to run a robust campaign.

The support we've received across the state has been incredible, and if everyone made a small contribution today, we'd fly past our goal instantly and be on a path to victory.

So what do you say, John? Can I count on you to donate today to hit our goal before this critical deadline? Every dollar we raise goes straight to work improving lives in California – now and for the next four years.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you,

Betty
