Hi John, I know you’ve heard a lot from me and my team this week -- I appreciate you sticking with me.

I need to pull back the curtain one last time before we turn the calendar over, but if you’re familiar with the stakes we’re facing, please consider chipping in $3 now.

Tonight’s FEC deadline is the final test of this grassroots campaign’s strength before the election year. What we raise becomes public for all to see -- from supporters to opponents.

It especially matters after an unprecedented, and oftentimes chaotic, year. The Trump Administration continues to tear down our democracy and make life hard for working families who are on the brink of losing their healthcare.

There were wins, too: Proposition 50 in California was a rebuke of Trump’s extreme gerrymandering. While it makes many Democratic seats safer, CA-49 is still ranked one of the most competitive races nationwide -- adding 177,127 new voters into the district who have never seen my name on a ballot.

These challenges face us in 2026, and hitting tonight’s goal paves the way forward. I refuse to accept a cent of corporate PAC money, so your $3 donation tonight makes a real difference. Can I count on your support?
