Friend,

I want to be clear about something: This race is not in the bag. It's not tied up. It's not certain.

The Republican Governors Association only has to worry about eleven races in 2020. The bulk of them are Republican held. In fact, there are only three Democratic incumbents they can take out. I'm one of them.

Now, in the first six months of 2019, they've raised $30 million dollars. In 2018, they raised $156 million. They've got money to spend, and beating me would be a HUGE upset -- exactly what they're betting on. These are just the facts.

This is our first big test: Grassroots support matters so much right now, and we're trying to show that by hitting a goal of 10,000 donations by Monday at midnight. Can you help out? Donate $1 or more today to fund the fight.

More than three in five Washingtonians disapprove of Donald Trump's job performance -- but the Washington GOP will gladly line up behind him at rallies and every opportunity they get. And they know there's nobody to turn out their base more than our erratic commander-in-chief.

I'm running to keep building on the progress we've won in Washington, from climate change to healthcare to our booming economy. Republicans will spend millions to run a campaign based on lies and division. They'll fight tooth and nail to win this, and they have a ton of money to do it, too.

We can't give them an opening, not while they have so much money in the bank. Let's show them that Washington state is not for sale. We need 10,000 donations by Monday at midnight -- will you be one of them? Donate $1 or more right now.

Very truly yours,

Jay
