Hi friend,
When I first ran for San Diego City Council, I was outraised 3:1 --
but still, we won.
This spring, we came second in a crowded primary, coming up against opponents who spent heaping gobs of money to beat us.
And now, we're running against a self-funded candidate who has run for Congress twice in two different districts out of convenience.
My entire public service career is dedicated to the 53rd district of California --
and let me assure you, I'm not running here because it's convenient. I'm running here because this is the community that shaped me into the leader I am today -- I grew up here, I live and breathe this community. This is our home. These are our neighbors, our businesses, and our schools.
I know that we can bring about the change we need in the 53rd district, and that's why I'm fighting so hard to earn your support to get to Congress.
We're coming up just a little short of the end-of-month fundraising goal we set to be on track with all of our campaign's plans for August and beyond. Can you chip in $5 before midnight tonight?
At Team Gómez, we stand with the essential workers in our district and beyond, and they stand with us.
At Team Gómez, we empower teachers, students, and faculty -- and as we have their back, they've got ours.
And at Team Gómez, we know we have to earn your vote -- unlike our opponent, who has literally spent
millions of self-funded dollars to buy a seat in Congress.
As we continue to build a diverse coalition across our district, we are only set up to thrive. We are a grassroots, people-powered campaign through and through.
We may be underdogs because we don't have unlimited financial resources like our opponent -- but that only puts more fire behind us and will make this win even sweeter.
We're so close to raising the $15,000 that we need by midnight tonight, but we're short $3,376. Can you pitch in right now to make this election possible?

Thank you, friend. Progressive change is among us.
