Hi John,
You know me as someone who tells it like it is, so I want to be honest with you right now. This deadline is really important when it comes to how much we can afford to spend on protecting my seat in 2022.
This year has been a whirlwind, and our campaign’s been hit with quite the news. The GOP has begun to mobilize their resources and donors towards targeting me for 2022. This seat is vulnerable, so we need to build a strong financial base to prepare to compete with the GOP and anyone else who might be coming after us.
That’s why it’s crucial we raise $125,000 over email by 11:59 pm PT tonight. If we fall short, it’ll stop us from being able to make some key investments in advertising, voter outreach, and more during a time when our momentum can’t slow down.
If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly:
Even though I’m from a vulnerable district, and even though the GOP is preparing to pour large sums of money into the next race to defeat me, I refuse to take campaign contributions from lobbyists or corporate PACs—and I don't take money from executives at Big Oil companies or Wall Street banks.
Does that make fundraising a bit more challenging? It certainly does. But I don't fight on behalf of special interests or corporations, and their large contributions won't ever influence me. I work for the American people, and therefore my campaign runs on the power of the small-dollar, grassroots donations we receive each day.
Thanks for everything,
Katie
