I might only have one opponent on the ballot -- but you better believe that I’m running against a whole network of National Republicans, GOP super PACs and dark money organizations. And John, they won’t stop at anything to win back California’s 39th.

Last cycle, my race was the most expensive non-special House contest in U.S. history. So we know what to expect over the next 78 days: misleading attack ads, major media buys from outside special interests, and general mudslinging from Trump Republicans.

That’s why it’s critical that my team doesn’t fall even $1 behind our fundraising goals, because we’ll need every single penny to counter the attack ads we anticipate and to fight back hard.

I believe that we can repeat history in CA-39, John. We’ve won once before; let’s all come together to do it again.
