We’ll be blunt, John: Our FIRST Federal Election Commission (FEC) fundraising deadline of the 2026 midterm year is only 72 hours away. And this one is going to be critical.

Every dollar we raise before the clock strikes midnight on March 31st will be made public. Republicans will get a first look at our grassroots energy, and if they see our momentum slowing, they will flood the state with dark money from megadonors like Elon Musk.

And the reality is this… we saw a surge in momentum right after our 2026 State Convention. But in March, our fundraising has slowed down. That’s why we are asking:

Will you rush a donation of $35 before this first critical deadline of the 2026 Midterms?

Here’s the truth:

This isn’t just a generic deadline. It’s the first real test of the entire 2026 cycle.

Republicans and the media will download our fundraising numbers the very SECOND they are publicly available. The road to taking back the U.S. House runs through California, so if our records show our fundraising slowing down, they will take that as a signal to push us on our back foot.

But if we show strong numbers, we send a clear message that we are organized, energized, and ready to compete in every battleground district across the state.

And here’s what your support will fund:

➡️ Early organizing in competitive districts across California;

➡️ Recruiting and training volunteers before the election year heats up;

➡️ Building the infrastructure we need to flip seats and take back the House;

This is the groundwork that wins elections — but only if we fund it early enough to make a difference.

Will you rush a donation right now to help us post the strongest possible numbers in our FIRST FEC filing of the 2026 midterm year?
