Hi folks, Nicole emailed you earlier today about The Independent highlighting our race (forwarded below!). I just wanted to follow up because that story was a gut check. It was another reminder of just how competitive this seat is and also of just how committed I am to continuing to represent all of you. 

This is ultimately a test of what we stand for as a nation and as a district. I've seen my opponent choose herself and her interests over those of our district -- to the point of putting people's lives on the line! That's not okay in my book any time, but I truly cannot imagine having someone like that representing me in Congress. I bet you can't either.

So, I'm coming to you right now, two days before voting closes, to ask if you can donate now to help me serve you for two more years in Congress. Can you chip in today?

Thank you. I sincerely appreciate all of your help!

-- Harley

Whoa. The Independent (yes, the news source in the UK that reports on all things across the entire globe) just made a list of seven of what they think are the "most interesting House races to watch on Election Night." Can you guess whose seat is one of the seven. 

Yes, they think folks better keep a close eye on our race on Election Day, and I'll tell you why: we could lose this seat.

Harley won the seat in 2018 as part of the Blue Wave, but that was an anomaly. He was the first Democrat to ever win this seat in a district where Democrats are in the minority.

So, we're going to have to come out as strong right now (if not stronger!) to keep this seat out of the radical right's hands. Can you help us do that by donating today?

Harley Rouda serves California's 48th district in Congress. In 2018, Harley defeated the 30-year incumbent Dana Rohrabacher in the very first political campaign of Harley's life. During his time in Congress, he's embraced common sense and values to tackle climate change, address deteriorating infrastructure, confront homelessness, and protect Social Security and Medicare. In 2020, Harley will be facing one of the toughest re-election fights in the entire country, so he's depending on the support of grassroots individuals. If you want to support Harley's re-election, you can donate here. If you'd like to no longer receive emails from his campaign, you can unsubscribe.
