John --
Ever since we started hearing reports of the GOP setting up illegal ballot drop boxes around our district and others, we've been closely monitoring the situation.
And now I'm disturbed that California Republican party officials are refusing to comply with our Attorney General's order that they remove the fake ballot boxes. It's why I joined this morning with Reps. Harley Rouda and T.J. Cox and legal counsel Marc Elias to condemn this illegal ballot collection scheme.
With the state GOP unwilling to obey the law and protect the security of our elections, it's more important than ever that we get the word out to our supporters exactly how they can cast their ballots safely and securely.
John, can you donate $5 or more to our Election Defender Fund right away? We have to do everything we can to protect this election.
Thank you for stepping up,
Christy

The GOP has gone too far.
The news on this is changing by the hour but here's what we know for sure: They're targeting our district by setting up unofficial -- read: illegal -- ballot drop boxes around CA-25 and two other competitive districts represented by Democrats.
We need to fight back against this election interference and make sure CA-25 voters know about this latest scheme and can protect their vote. Click here to rush a donation of $5 or more to our Election Defender Fund right now >>
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Here's the message we need to get to CA-25 voters ASAP:
This is a real ballot drop box 👇
This isn't 👇
Secretary of State Padilla has already issued a memo clarifying that unofficial drop boxes are illegal and is looking further into the matter.
While that happens, we need to act fast to make sure voters know exactly how and where to safely return their ballots. Our voter protection efforts just got even more important, and we need the financial resources to keep them going.
We know that you believe in free, fair, and legal elections. Will you step up and help defend our election here in CA-25? Chip in $5 or more right now so we can make sure our election is safe and secure >>
