Friend -- I know we've emailed a lot over the last few days. In fact, I probably wouldn't have opened this email if I were you because I'm sick of it too. But I do want you to know one thing:

I do not accept a single dime from PACs, federal lobbyists, or even from other members of Congress. And unlike many of my colleagues, I do not spend 20 or 30 hours a week in a cramped conference room dialing for dollars. Instead, I'm spending that time doing the work I was elected to do.

But we are nearing the end of an important fundraising quarter, and we still need to raise $3,350 to hit our goal and stay on track for 2020. Will you contribute today?

Believe me, I wouldn't ask it weren't important. But I rely on individual supporters like you to power this campaign, and we can't let up now. There's too much work to be done. Will you invest today to help us meet the goal?

Or, if your payment information is saved with ActBlue, click below and your contribution will go through immediately:

Thanks for opening -- and reading -- this email. Here's to an inbox free of fundraising emails tomorrow!
