John, I made the mistake of thinking bigotry would not play a role in my campaign. I was wrong.

This is just one of the many homophobic threats and attacks I receive on a daily basis.

I'm not sharing this with you to ask for your sympathy — I'm sharing it to ask for your solidarity.

Every time a supporter stands with me, our campaign gets stronger and their attacks become weaker. I'm asking for a groundswell of support in response to this bigotry — 736 donations in the next 4 hours — to send a message so powerful, so resounding, the bigots will have no choice but to hear it: Every slur, every attack, every cruel message only fuels this campaign closer to victory, closer to ousting Trump’s Republican Majority , and closer to flipping the entire House for Democrats. I’m asking from the bottom of my heart: Can I count on your $10 in this moment? »

My husband and I just became fathers to our beautiful baby girl, Ella.

She is the most important thing in the world to me.

I’m running so that Ella can grow up in a world where families like ours are seen, respected, and protected.

I’m running so that kids all over the country who face bigotry know they can one day make it to Congress, too.

I’m running because, while my family has seen the worst of people, this campaign has also shown us the best — the kind of courage, kindness, and community that gives us hope.

I’m finished letting the haters think they can win, John.

And if the numbers are true, polling shows you are, too. Experts say this is Democrats’ UNPRECEDENTED chance to win one of the biggest House Majorities in history. We can’t let anything jeopardize our chances, not when the fate of the ENTIRE House Majority hinges on Democrats winning this race. But the harsh reality is — unless I can compete with Trump and his Republicans’ earth-shattering sum of cash, our chance of victory will be over. So I’m humbly asking 736 people to rush $10 in the next 4 hours to help me have a MASSIVE showing of support today and prove to everyone watching what we’re made of. Can I count on you? »

Thank you,
Jordan
