I know it’s the final day of the month and your inbox is probably full, so I’ll keep this brief:

Tonight is our first official fundraising deadline of the election year, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Here’s what’s changed since the start of the month: The Cook Political Report officially named CA-45 the most vulnerable Democratic-held seat in all of Southern California. Now, Republicans are lining up challengers, consolidating resources, and making it clear that this is their top target in the region.

And they’re not starting from scratch. We flipped CA-45 in 2024 by just 653 votes. That margin made us a target from the second polls closed.

I didn’t come to Congress to play defense, I came here to deliver for working families.

But if we don’t show strong grassroots support today, we’ll start this election year on the back foot, and the GOP will seize the opportunity.
