My race is STILL too close to call. I hate to ask, but a recount is looming and I refuse to lose this House seat to the GOP because every vote wasn’t counted fairly. So I’m BEGGING you: please chip in $18. All gifts will be 2X-MATCHED >>

This email is long, but it is important to me that I explain what the current state of my race is, what is at stake, and exactly why I need to raise $9,218 in the next 24 hours.

#1: Valadao is currently beating me by 4,033 votes. But this race is far from over.

In 2018, I was trailing until the very final hour -- when I flipped this seat blue by just 862 votes.

I can win, but it hinges on raising $9,218 in the next 24 hours so I have the resources to make sure EVERY ballot is accounted for. Can I count on you to donate at this make or break moment? >>

#2: In California, the costs of a recount fall on my shoulders.

But here’s the issue:

I spent every cent we had to defend myself against David Valadao’s ruthless attacks before Election Day.

I wish I didn’t have to ask again but this could be the difference between a stunning victory, or a devastating defeat.

This is truly the most impactful donation you can make, so I’m asking: Will you rush $5 now to fuel my potential recount, and defend this seat from the GOP?

#3: I’m one of Democrats’ last hopes of hanging on to a critical House seat.

I’m terrified that Democrats are focused on the presidential race and the GOP is being allowed to destroy our House Majority.

I’m ready to fight till the bitter end but I can’t do that without the support of 724 grassroots donors.

So I’m asking one last time: Will you chip in a MATCHED $5, and help me finally win this critical race?

Thank you,

TJ
