Wow. What a year it’s been. 

 

We’ve faced a pandemic, economic crisis, election, and much more. Through it all, I’ve had the honor of listening to and learning from the outstanding voters in the Third District. I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

 

But before I’m sworn in on Sunday, I need your help. Our end of year fundraising deadline is just hours away. 

 

DC insiders will look at these numbers to gauge my strength. And I’ll be honest with you: we’re not where we need to be.

 

We didn’t unseat a 15-year incumbent by appeasing the status quo. I’m not going to back down from fighting for what I believe in, but that means that special interests will be watching our numbers to determine whether we’re vulnerable next cycle. 

 

I know that our people-powered movement is ready for whatever they throw at us, but we need to hit our end-of-year deadline to prove it to everyone else. 

 

Can I count on you to chip in to make sure we hit our goal? 

 

I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t critical. 

 

Thank you for being with me in this fight—I’m looking forward to the years ahead. 

 

Onward, 

Marie
