I will be direct: we missed our online fundraising goal.

That’s a serious problem because our race was recently moved from Lean Democrat to Toss-Up.

This is one of the most competitive House races in the country. National Republicans including Elon Musk are pouring huge sums of money into Southwest Washington to defeat us. They want to flip this seat red and grow their House majority. We can't let them do it.

Our campaign needs to raise $20,000 to close the gap and make sure we have the resources to fight back.

I don’t ask this lightly. But in a Toss-Up race, falling short now could mean fewer voters reached, fewer tv ads, and less room to respond when outside groups start attacking. Please can you rush a $5 donation now to help us catch up?

I have always put Southwest Washington first. And am proud to be an independent voice who fights for this community — not party leadership, not special interests, and not political consultants.

That’s exactly why they’re coming after us.

They know I won’t be bought. They know I won’t back down. And they know that keeping this seat could decide control of the House.

So today, I am asking you to help me close our fundraising gap: Can you make a $5 contribution to help keep this Toss-Up seat from flipping red?
