John,

As a first-term Democratic congresswoman defending one of the only toss-up districts in the nation, I know that I have a target on my back.

President Trump personally endorsed my opponent, former Republican Congressman Scott Taylor, and Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy promoted Taylor to the top level of the GOP's "Young Guns" recruitment program to let wealthy Republican donors know that this is a race they can win if they invest heavily enough.

And with a new poll confirming that this race is currently at a TIE, I need you now more than ever -- so John, will you chip in a MATCHED donation to make sure our campaign has the resources to counter the millions outside groups will spend to defeat me?

The power players of the GOP have made it clear that they'll do everything in their power to unseat me in 2020 -- national Republicans have already spent $500,000 attacking me and my record, and they have over $2.8 million worth of attack ads lined up for this fall.

But this team has defied the odds before -- I beat Taylor in 2018 despite his connections to the GOP establishment, his $4 million war chest, and his staffers' illegal efforts to sabotage my campaign.

I won with just 51.05% of the vote last time, and polling shows 2020 will be just as close. It will be an uphill battle to defend this seat, and I need you to stand with me -- chip in whatever you can to my campaign before midnight TONIGHT and your contribution will be DOUBLED >>

I know that with the help of supporters like you, we can come out on top once again.

I'm counting on you,

Elaine
