Hi John,

When the data from the 2020 Census comes back later this year, Pennsylvania is almost certain to lose a congressional seat. And that means the Republicans who control our state legislature will do absolutely everything they can to ensure that the seat that gets eliminated is occupied by a Democrat.

The redistricting process is complex, but the outcomes are often transparently partisan -- such that a couple years ago, our state Supreme Court found the GOP had outrageously stacked the deck to make Democratic victories all but impossible.

There's no reason to think they won't try the same thing again. And my team fears that I could be their prime target.

It's possible they could try to force me to compete with my own Democratic colleague, Madeleine Dean in Pennsylvania's Fourth, for a single seat -- a gerrymandering tactic known as “hijacking.” Or they might pack as many Republicans into the new fifth district as possible, hoping to see me defeated with overwhelming numbers.

Either way, it is incredibly important we are prepared for whatever they throw at us. And one thing is for sure: we have the power to stop them -- both by calling out their nefarious tactics and by being on such solid organizational ground that they don't have a chance at knocking us out.

My team is organizing now to head them off. But they tell me we are ending the weekend $1,300 short of where we need to be, and that spells trouble.

John, if Kevin McCarthy takes back the House for the Republicans next year, the Biden-Harris agenda may be as good as finished. And our district could be key to protecting our majority.

I need your help today to stop that from happening. Would you chip in whatever you can to help our campaign prepare for the Republicans' redistricting schemes and keep this district, and the House, safe in 2022? >> [link removed]
