John,

If there’s one thing I learned from my two-decade career in the Navy, it’s this -- there’s nothing more powerful than teamwork.

Outside groups backing former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor are flooding this toss-up race with over $2.8 million to try and buy this election -- but thanks to supporters like you, we’re showing them that this grassroots team has what it takes to defend this district.

You stepped up when we needed you to, and I’m proud to share that our campaign was able to meet our most critical benchmark yet and reach our fundraising goal for the quarter.

As a top target for national Republicans, it’s true that I’m facing an uphill battle to hold this seat.

But I’m not standing alone -- I’m standing with an army of people like you who are ready to fight for our loved ones and our community. And I know that together, we’re going to win.

Thank you,

Elaine
