Hi friend -- I wanted to make sure you saw our message yesterday about Melanie Stansbury and her race for NM-01.
I'm working hard alongside Democrats across the country to give her as high of a lift as possible in the final days before the special election.
Melanie will be the progressive champion we need. She'll be a critical vote to advance our priorities on voting rights, healthcare, criminal justice reform, and so much more. But if the Republicans take the seat, it will be a massive setback.
So I'm asking for your help. Melanie needs to raise another $1,278 today -- can you chip in now to help us reach the goal?
Thanks so much,
Jennifer

Friend, we need your help to hold a critical House race for Democrats in just nine days.
Melanie Stansbury is running in a special election for New Mexico's 1st District, and the race is a big test of our party's ability to mobilize voters and run on our policies ahead of the 2022 elections.
We can't take anything for granted. House Republicans just reported raising a record amount in April, and they're likely to spend heavily in NM-01 in the final stretch. In an off-year election with lower turnout, last-minute spending can make a huge difference.
That's why we're asking for your support. Can you split a donation to help Melanie Stansbury raise $5,000 in the next 24 hours so she has the resources to hold this seat for Democrats?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately and be split between Melanie Stansbury and Jennifer Wexton:
Democrats have only a five-seat majority in the House. Losing a seat now would make passing our agenda much harder, and massively open up the GOP's pathways for capturing the House in 2022.
Melanie Stansbury will be a strong advocate for healthcare, protecting our environment, and ending gun violence. Jennifer is eager to have Melanie as a colleague so we can continue our work in delivering for the American people.
But if Melanie loses, the Trump wing of the GOP will be even more emboldened, and policies that are sorely needed will stall. That's why we need your help today.
Please contribute what you can to help secure NM-01!
Thank you,
Team Wexton
