John --

Trump held a multi-million dollar fundraiser in Orange County today -- and, frankly, this could unravel much of the progress that we’ve accomplished on the ground over the past year on the campaign trail.

With more national Republican eyes on our race than ever before, we’re grappling with a new reality: Gil’s opponent (with whom he is statistically tied!) is going to be the beneficiary of even more special interest spending when it matters most -- during the final two weeks of this election.

So we’re calling on our top supporters -- like you, John -- to help us fortify our warchest to fight back against the inevitable influx of misleading attack ads we expect to flood the district over these final 16 days. We can’t afford to give this race anything less than our full-fledged effort. >>
