John, we have hours to get 300 donors to stop Donald Trump and his divisive agenda up and down the ballot in New Mexico. That's why, in a moment, I'm going to ask you to chip in and make a donation – but first, let me tell you why I'm asking for your help.

Now, I know this year has been hard – our lives have completely changed, and now I'm asking you to make a contribution. But here's the thing, John: Donald Trump has made New Mexico a top target and we can't afford to lose all the progress we've made and let Trump's agenda take hold in New Mexico.

Races aren't won or lost on Election Day. They're won or lost in the work we do right now, this moment, before Nov. 3. We budget money to register voters, spread our message of hope and do tough, thankless grassroots organizing to build a better New Mexico.

I'm sharing every dollar we raise tonight with Democrats fighting for progress across the state. Democrats who will prioritize education, fight for women's rights, follow science and data, and deliver the promise of a clean energy future.

Here's the truth, John: While Donald Trump has been playing politics with people's lives, my team has been fighting to keep New Mexico families safe. But that also means we're way behind our fundraising goals, which could spell disaster on Election Day – in fact, we're 35 new donors short of where we need to be. 

Luckily, a group of loyal donors just offered to MATCH every dollar we raise before the end of the quarter to keep on track to win big this November.

John, this is the most important election of our lifetime, and I'm grateful you've stuck by my side during this tough year. That's why I'm turning to you with just hours to get back on track: If you are able, will you give $5 – anything you can chip in to have DOUBLED – to elect Democrats in New Mexico and stop Donald Trump and his extremist agenda?

I cannot overstate my appreciation for you and your family during these trying times. I'm grateful you're fighting by my side.
