Friends, I can’t emphasize this enough --

I'm not a career politician. I'm a first-term member of Congress who was elected to do what is right, not what is politically expedient or safe. Which is why I've been a leading voice in Congress about the urgency of the climate crisis and the need to safeguard our elections from foreign interference.

It's why I took a stand as one of the first voices to call for an impeachment inquiry against Trump and called for universal background checks on firearms sales. It's why I'm taking on Big Pharma and standing up to the NRA.

And it's why I’m a top target for the National Republican Congressional Committee, which will spend millions to boost my far-right challenger’s campaign to unseat me.

If you're with me in the tough fights ahead, then I'm humbly asking if you'll make a donation ahead of our critical FEC public deadline which is just 4 days away. We’re just 536 donations away from reaching our goal to bring in 5,000 online contributions before the end of the quarter -- will you chip in to help us send a message that we have what it takes to hold this seat?

I believe in being fully transparent with my constituents. I understand that my position in Congress comes with a responsibility to not only my community and my state, but to my country and our democracy.

Doing what's right isn't always easy. But that doesn't mean you shirk that responsibility. It means you buckle down and get to work.

So if you're willing to join me in demanding action on climate change, holding Trump accountable, and standing up to the GOP’s all-out assault on our healthcare, then I need you to give whatever you can to help us reach our end-of-quarter fundraising goal >>

This is our last FEC quarterly deadline before November 3rd. With your help, we'll prove we have what it takes to defend this district and our values.

Thank you,

Sean
