John,

It’s crunch time. In less than a week, millions of ballots will be mailed out for the Republican recall vote in California. And in just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a $5 contribution to help me defeat this partisan, Republican recall.

But today’s request is not an ordinary one — please give me a chance to explain why this one is so important.

Here is the truth:

The enthusiasm of far-right Republicans has made this recall far too close for comfort. They are fired up to vote and Democrats hardly know there’s an election, and may mistake their ballots for junk mail.

So our job is to make sure everyone in California knows about this election, and that their ballots are due by September 14. If that happens, we will win.

But that takes resources. And today is our deadline to wire funds to expand operations like our ad buy and field program before ballots drop for most people next week. And that is why I am asking:

Can you PLEASE split a $5 contribution to our campaigns today to help us beat this Republican recall? Do it before our ad buy deadline and you will be even more pivotal in helping us win this race.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Adam Schiff and Stop the Republican Recall of Governor Gavin Newsom will go through immediately:

Thank you, John. Your support means a lot.

Gavin Newsom
