John,

In a moment, I’m going to ask you for a $3 donation to my campaign for Governor. I hope you'll let me share why this request is so important – especially now.

The Supreme Court has once again signaled they are set to extend Donald Trump's authority, providing “massive, uncontrolled and un-checked power in the hands of the president,” as Justice Kagan wrote.

If this goes through, we are entering uncharted times, and that requires clear heads, belief, and the willingness to use every tool in our arsenal to protect California's progress that allows everyone to thrive.

I know in my heart that I am the best person to lead our state against this tinpot dictator. After all, I stood up to Trump’s Administration as your Controller, and I will do it again as your next Governor.

But, capability alone cannot win elections. This will be a historically expensive race, and we have to ensure we're not drowned from sight by deeper-pocketed campaigns.

It's my promise to you that I won’t allow anyone to use our state as a tool to play partisan politics. However, if we’re going to defeat extremism, I’ll need your help:

So what do you say, John? Can I count on you to donate today to hit our goal before our critical end-of-year deadline? Every dollar we raise goes straight to work improving lives in California.

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

Donate $5 Donate $10

Donate $50 Donate $100

Donate $250 Another Amount

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we will guide California through this unprecedented moment.

Betty
