John –

This has been a week.

First, we lost Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a champion for the rights of women and a stalwart defender for all treated unequally under the law. A teacher-turned-American icon, she delivered fiery defenses of reproductive justice, voting rights for all, and our democracy. She leaves behind an unmatched legacy and a mandate for us all to continue these fights in her honor.

Then, yesterday, Jahana tested positive for COVID-19 – and quickly thereafter became symptomatic. It is a staunch reminder of how far we still need to go to control this pandemic and the importance of developing a national testing strategy.

But, here at Team Hayes, we know that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Adversity only makes us want to work harder. And that’s what we are doing. Focus on what you can control, right? For us, that means doubling down on getting our message out!

Since Jahana now has to lock down even more than before and focus on getting healthy, we have to ramp up the rest of our game to get her word out virtually. We’re hiring more field staff, ordering more signs, buying more media, sending more postcards, and making more phone calls. Each of these actions costs money.

With just 43 days until Election Day, can you contribute to help us reach all voters in CT-05? That’s right – just 43 DAYS to get Jahana’s message out, talk to as many voters as possible, and to help save our House Majority!

With the clock running down, will you consider making a weekly donation to Jahana’s re-election campaign so we can kick into the next gear from now until November?

If you cannot make a donation at this time, consider donating your time! We have many remote volunteer opportunities where you can contribute anywhere from 15 minutes to hours helping share Jahana’s message with voters.

Your support is critical at this moment in our country’s history. While much of Washington seems wrapped up in the never-ending partisan bickering, Jahana has been laser-focused on delivering results for CT-05 and trafficking in the truth. Her record speaks for itself.

Over the next 43 days, we will educate voters on that record and share Jahana’s vision for the future. A future where everyone has access to affordable healthcare, where no one goes hungry, where every child has access to quality public education, and where there is true equity in our society.

This is the future that Jahana is fighting to create. Will you help her?

Will you invest in Jahana’s vision for our community – for our nation – with a donation to her re-election campaign today? Even just $3 weekly makes a huge difference in the home stretch.

The countdown is on!
