Friend, the battle for control of the House next fall is going to be tight. Republicans only need to win a handful of close races to take back control of the majority -- and they’ve already set their sights on Stephanie Murphy’s Central Florida seat to help them do it.

We need all hands on deck for this one. Will you chip in now to help us re-elect Stephanie and keep the House in Democratic hands?

Republicans were furious when Stephanie flipped this district blue in 2016 by defeating a 12-term incumbent, and they’ve been desperate to take the seat back ever since. Now that the GOP has been completely shut out of power in Washington, they’re going to be coming after Stephanie with a vengeance.

Simply put, we CANNOT hold on to our Democratic House majority if we fail to re-elect Stephanie -- and that would be a disaster for all Americans. We’ll see an even bolder assault on civil rights, voting rights, and reproductive freedom, and we’ll be completely blocked from taking any action on important issues like gun violence and climate change.

Here’s where you come in: There’s a critical end-of-quarter fundraising deadline coming up at the end of this month, and Republicans will be looking closely at Stephanie’s numbers to determine how tough of a fight she’s prepared to put up.

We need to send a clear message that Stephanie is ready to do whatever it takes to keep our district -- and the House -- blue. Can we count on you to rush a contribution now?

Thank you -- let’s do this!
