Hi John,
It's not every day that Cori emails, so we want to make sure you saw her message from earlier. With hours to go until our May end-of-month fundraising deadline, we're only 2% away from hitting our goal.
We can't afford to miss this goal — especially now that potential future challengers are measuring the strength of our progressive movement based off our fundraising numbers. It’s also critically important that Cori has the support she needs to successfully unveil a historic plan to transform our system of public safety.
In solidarity,
Team Cori

John,
I need your support. We're coming up on our May end-of-month deadline tonight at midnight, and right now we're still 5% short of our must-hit fundraising goal.
I'm proud to say I have received the most small-dollar donations of all new Democratic members of the House. That wouldn’t be possible without your support. Together, we are sending a powerful message to the world of what’s possible with people power. I didn't win my election with the help of corporate PACs or political insiders, I won because of grassroots supporters like you. Now, I need your help again if we're going to reach this goal before midnight.
John, let me tell you why your donation today is so important.
I'm not a career politician — I'm a single mom, nurse, activist, organizer, and pastor. I ran for Congress to put regular, everyday people first because I've lived the struggles of working people in our community myself.
That means, when I discuss police violence, it's personal to me.
When I discuss environmental justice, it's personal to me.
When I discuss Medicare for All, it's personal to me.
When I discuss the Black maternal health crisis, it's personal to me.
When I discuss guaranteed housing, it's personal to me.
When I discuss a minimum wage of at least $15/hr, it's personal to me.
I won’t rest until we bring our anti-racist, progressive agenda to life. But my race was decided by just three points in 2020. That means folks are all but guaranteed to come out of the woodwork to try and take this seat, whether that be GOP megadonors or less-than-progressive primary challengers who want to return to the status quo.
That’s why we’re investing early — from reaching out to voters, recruiting volunteers, and hiring staff — to prepare for the journey ahead. I’m more motivated than ever to keep working to bring transformative change to all of our communities, but I can’t do it without your help.
Your Congresswoman loves you,
Cori
