John,

With less than 40 days until Election Day, our race keeps getting closer. Sabato's Crystal Ball -- a highly respected political analyst -- recently shifted this race in the Republicans' favor.

National Republicans take this ratings change as an indication they can win back this seat. That's why they've moved our opponent to a higher tier in their "Young Guns" program, saying Washington's 8th district appears "favorable to the GOP candidate."

We can't protect Kim's seat and the Democratic House majority without your help. Rush a donation before Wednesday's FEC end-of-quarter deadline to help us hit our $100,000 online goal.

John -- we have a tough fight ahead of us over these final few weeks. It's been a decade since the party that won the primary went on to lose the general election here in Washington State. After the results from the primary, that means the odds are stacked against us.

If we're going to keep this district blue and keep Kim fighting for us in Congress, we can't afford to take our foot off the gas. But with less than 48 hours before our final FEC end-of-quarter fundraising deadline, we're still coming up a little short of our goal.

Will you pitch in $5 or more before Wednesday at midnight to help push us over the finish line?

Thanks,

Team Schrier
