Hi John,

September 30 marks the end of the third financial quarter of 2019 – but it also means I have just over 12 months until this seat is up for grabs again.

Let me explain exactly why my race is going to be so difficult and then tell you why NOW is the time to show your support:

1.
The
GOP
views
this
seat
as
the
only
vulnerable
federal
seat
in
Connecticut.
My
district
is
almost
a
perfect
50/50
split.
It
contains
many
of
the
reddest
areas
of
the
state,
making
this
race
a
battle
in
every
election.


The
fact
that
I
am
a
freshman
only
adds
fuel
to
the
fire.
In
other
words,
the
GOP
is
going
to
dump
a
TON
of
money
behind
any
viable
candidate
running
against
me.
I
now
have
three
declared
GOP
challengers
actively
working
to
mobilize
–
and
there
are
undoubtedly
more
people
out
there
considering
a
run…
but
:

2.
Strong
numbers
help
deter
serious
opposition.
If
we
make
a
strong
financial
showing
early,
the
opposition
is
less
likely
to
put
substantial
resources
behind
an
opponent.
They
simply
will
not
see
enough
of
an
opportunity.


If
you
send
a
strong
message
now,
I
can
continue
focusing
on
doing
the
job
you
sent
me
to
Washington
to
do,
rather
than
focusing
on
fighting
back
potential
opponents.

So, NOW is the time to send a strong message that we are not going anywhere . We worked too hard to win this race – and to flip the House – last year. Now is the time to work just as hard to keep both.
