John,

This race is far from over.

Mike Garcia’s razor-thin lead is now just a few hundred votes -- and there are thousands still left to count. Whatever happens, we’re committed to making sure that the voters’ right to decide who represents them is upheld, and that each and every voter’s voice is heard in this election.

To do that, we’re working to help voters fix missing signatures on their ballots so that they can be counted, and we’re preparing for a recount. That all takes resources, John, so we HAVE to meet our goal of raising $225,000 for our recount fund.

Right now, we’re $81,906 away from our new goal, and we need your help to close the gap. Can you chip in $5 to make sure every vote is counted?

This seat is vitally important. Not only are we fighting to make sure that the interests of CA-25 are fairly represented in Congress, we’re also fighting to strengthen the Democratic majority.

We're the only House race left in the country where Democrats could unseat a Republican incumbent.

The nation is watching this race. We’re committed to unseating Mike Garcia and proving that people are ready for a new kind of leadership -- leaders who are in Washington to make this country work for all of us, not merely advance partisan priorities.

Will you pitch in $5, or whatever you can, to make sure we have the resources we need to win this fight?
