John, December 31st doesn't just mark the end of the year. For us, it's our last chance to show our grassroots support before our FEC deadline.

To most people, the acronym "FEC" doesn't ring a bell. For us, the FEC, or Federal Election Commission, is the government organization that oversees elections.

At the end of the quarter, we report how much we've raised to the FEC and how many people have chipped in. It's a moment to show the strength of this movement — or its weakness.

We need our numbers to show the people of Ohio are ready to go to bat for Emilia and fight to help Democrats take control of the House. That's why we're urging you to please chip in $10 or whatever you can today to help put an end to the GOP's stronghold in Congress.

We understand that not everyone reading this email will donate. We get it, John — prices are through the roof, and people have to make tough decisions this holiday season. Whether you can spare $10 or $25, it all adds up.

There will be no billionaires swooping in to help keep Emilia's seat safe. Instead, she is counting on the strength of the grassroots movement she's built over the years.

Ohio families deserve a leader who is committed to fighting to lower costs, growing the local economy with union jobs, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and making health care and education more affordable.

Emilia Sykes is that leader, but her re-election is not guaranteed.

Her district is still a TOP flip target for the GOP. That's why we're reaching out to our grassroots supporters to help us end the year strong. To be honest, we expect donations could drop off from the holidays — so we need everyone reading this to pitch in what they can and exceed our expectations.

So, John, can Emilia count on you to chip in what you can before her FINAL deadline of the year?

Thank you for helping us out,

Team Sykes
