KATIE PORTER'S EMAIL THIS MORNING:
There’s no way around it: To achieve big change, I need more allies in
Congress.
I need a crew of BOLD and progressive leaders who will fight and win. The
good news is that today many bold progressives are in prime position to
flip Republican seats like I did in 2018. But they need our help.
I’m thrilled to support the PCCC’s Red to Bold slate - 7 bold progressives
who can flip Republican congressional districts in areas where Joe Biden
needs to get out every vote, like Michigan, Florida, and Texas. Even
Nebraska, where President Obama won an Electoral College vote.
[ [link removed] ]Can you please donate $3 or more to the Red to Bold slate today? Help
these bold progressives get out every vote for themselves and to defeat
Donald Trump. Chip in here.
(You can also [ [link removed] ]sign up to meet the crew on Zoom this Tuesday at 12:30pm
Eastern, 9:30am Pacific. Click here to meet Kara, Candace, Dana, Mike,
Pam, Joe, and Julie. And help us spread the word [ [link removed] ]on Twitter and [ [link removed] ]on
Facebook.)
Republicans don’t want more Katie Porter allies in Congress. That’s why
their big-dollar Super PACs are spending millions trying to defeat my
allies who are in neck-and-neck races in key swing districts.
These candidates are inspiring voters on issues like Medicare for All,
bold climate change solutions, corporate accountability, pro-worker
policies, and helping working families and single moms like me. By
energizing voters around popular progressive ideas, we will also increase
turnout for Joe Biden.
This country, and our work in Congress, will look very different if these
Red to BOLD champions win in November. [ [link removed] ]And I’m asking for your help to
make it happen -- please donate right now to help them get out the early
vote.
(You can also [ [link removed] ]sign up to meet the crew tomorrow on Zoom. And help us
spread the word [ [link removed] ]on Twitter and [ [link removed] ]on Facebook.)
Read more about them below. Thanks for being a bold progressive.
