John,

I need to give you an update on the state of the race here in CA-25.

As we expected, it has taken several days for officials to count ballots -- they're still working as we speak. And for all of that time, our race has been too close to call.

Right now, we're still in a dead heat with Mike Garcia -- tied at 50.0% of the ballots already counted.

But there are tens of thousands more votes still waiting to be tallied here in CA-25, and we will ensure that voters' voices are heard.

We need your help to make sure that happens, John. Can I count you in for a donation of $5 or more right now to help power our efforts? We'll need to be ready with a team of lawyers to fight for the voters' right to decide this election.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I got into this race because I know that the people of CA-25 are ready for a leader who will never give up on them. And I'm not giving up now.

We will fulfill the promise of this democracy: that it is by and for the people. We will make sure that every voice is heard.

I'll be in touch with updates as they are available.

Thank you for everything you've done to bring this election home,

Christy
