John,

We're running out of time.

Our September 30th end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is in a matter of days, and we're still $117,938 short of our $900,000 goal.

END-OF-QUARTER GOAL: $900,000. AMOUNT RAISED: $782,062. DEADLINE: MIDNIGHT 9/30. DONATE

Now, that goal may sound high, but it's what we need to compete in the critical months of October and November with all of these special interest groups hammering Christy with nasty attack ads. Unlike Mike Garcia, we don't take money from corporate PACs or D.C. lobbyists. If we did, we could hit our fundraising goals a lot faster, but it's the wrong way to win a race.

Instead, we rely on folks like you to power our campaign with an average online grassroots donation of $22.44. Could you chip in that amount, or whatever you can, to help hit our very last end-of-quarter goal?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Right now, we're facing our most important finance deadline of this election -- and after September 30th, our fundraising numbers will be public for everyone, including Mike Garcia and his special interest donors, to see.

And now we're having to fight back against false Republican smears against Christy's record -- attacks Politifact just called them out for.

This is what we're up against. This is why we have to make the strongest possible showing in our FEC report by meeting our $900,000 quarterly goal. It's how we'll show Mike Garcia and the Republican interest groups propping up his campaign that we're in this race to win -- and the people of CA-25 are with us.

There is so much on the line. Can you rush a donation of $5 or more right now, before our final end-of-quarter deadline of this election? Anything you give could make the difference.

Let's go hit this goal and win this race,

Team Christy
