I'll be direct, John.

Will you make a $3 donation to our grassroots-powered campaign to defeat GOP Leader and career politician Kevin McCarthy? Only five seats stand between him and the House majority. If you want to 1) hold him accountable, 2) give him the toughest re-election fight of his career, and 3) stop him from getting the Speaker's gavel, please chip in $3 today.

When I announced this campaign against McCarthy, I made a promise that I would always be fully transparent with voters and supporters. So here's the truth:

Our fundraising started too slowly this month. We're not panicking, but it is troubling because we depend on grassroots donations while McCarthy takes his big corporate PAC checks.

There are tens of thousands of voters in our community repulsed by McCarthy. How could they not be? He's spent this entire year groveling to Trump, disrespecting the Capitol Police, enabling the worst elements of his party, and even joked this week about hitting women. Enough is enough.

He's been horrible, but our challenge is that many don't yet know I am a viable Democrat running against him. Our job is to spread the word about this campaign -- and to do it early. The best way we can do that is by making sure we have resources to run a strong voter contact operation. That's where you come in:

If everyone reading this email chipped in just $5 right now, we'd meet our goal TODAY. I know we can do this, but it'll only happen if we all step up and do it as a team.

We are coming up $7,211 short of our weekly fundraising goal. Can you chip in $3 before 11:59 PM tonight to help us close the gap?
