John, being involved in politics is not a seasonal trend. It’s not like a pumpkin spiced latte. It’s an always-on duty that we all share, no matter what time of year it is.
This was one of the biggest takeaways we learned from the historic election results from Georgia this past election. Leaders like Stacey Abrams put in the work early to organize communities and register new voters year-round, not just when it was time to vote.
John, this is what it’s going to take to hold our district, too. Orange County is still considered a “purple” political climate. No matter the color or the party lines, I’m still going to continue calling out the B.S. and advocating for issues that affect all working families—but I’m counting on your early support now so I can keep fighting.

Before I won my first race in 2018, my district hadn’t been represented by a Democrat since 1982. I was a “long shot” candidate. But we fought hard, we organized underrepresented communities, and we built a scrappy but mighty grassroots movement to change that.
And in 2020, we proved that this wasn’t just a one-off “blue wave” phenomenon. We continued to strengthen and grow our movement that put working families first, and because of the support from this community, I won my first re-election.
I’m so grateful for how far our movement has grown. But every election is different, and our focus is on securing early resources now to invest in our community and fend off future challengers for 2022. That’s the key to our long-term success, John.
Thanks for being by my side,
Katie
