When I announced this campaign, I made a promise that I would always be fully transparent with voters and supporters.

So here's the truth:

Central Valley voters know that McCarthy has been horrible, but our biggest obstacle is that many don't know I'm the viable Democrat running against him.

We're spreading the word about the alternative we're offering -- and we're doing it early. The best way we can keep that up is by making sure we have resources to run a strong voter communication effort -- that's where you come in:

We are coming up $9,141 short of where we need to be to stay on track for our weekly fundraising goal. If everyone reading this email chipped in just $10 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:

Can you chip in $3 before 11:59 PM tonight to help us close the gap?

McCarthy repulses voters here in CA-23: He started the year groveling to Trump and the furthest-right wing of his party. Already this month, he said horrible things about women and disrespected Capitol Police. Enough is enough.

But to win this race, we have to talk about what WE are offering. We have to talk about real issues that matter to the Central Valley and their solutions. That's exactly what we're doing, and it’s why we need your help.
