Here’s what they’re saying about our race, John:

Here’s what we have to say: It’s no secret that Republicans have viewed this district as a top pick-up opportunity since Gil’s election two years ago, John.

But with recent polling insinuating that this race is going to be closer than we ever imagined, we don’t want to start playing defense during the most critical few weeks of this campaign.

John, the best way to show that we’re still in a strong position to win is if our grassroots fundraising team shows up in a big way ahead of our end-of-quarter deadline.

So this is us, coming to you personally, asking you to help us close the outstanding fundraising gap we’re facing ahead of our biggest fundraising deadline this election cycle. Can you donate anything -- $5, $15, whatever works -- immediately?
