This is a longer email, but we hope you read through this important update on how the census could affect our campaign to re-elect Ro.
Last week, the Census Bureau released new population data that will be used for redistricting this year, and Republicans are rushing to gerrymander congressional districts that tilt the odds in their favor. This includes Ro’s home state of California, which lost its first congressional district since the state’s founding.
No one knows exactly how California’s districts will be redrawn. That means Ro’s district could change, and we have to be ready for every scenario, including: 1) gaining new constituents who aren’t familiar with Ro, 2) adding more Republican voters who disagree with our progressive values, or 3) facing new opponents – including potential incumbents.
Although there are still a lot of unknowns, here’s what we do know: ever since his first election in 2016, Ro has never accepted a single cent of PAC or lobbyist money, all while fighting for our shared progressive values.
Not every member of Congress can say the same. It’s what makes our movement so unique and powerful.
But it also makes fundraising a lot harder.
If we want to be able to take on whatever challenges or opponents redistricting throws at us, we need to stay on track of our fundraising. That means raising at least another $12,368 before the end of August.
Unlike some campaigns who receive millions of dollars from corporate PACs, we work hard every day by reaching out to grassroots donors like yourself. Every email we send is an effort from our team to try to keep up with the endless money of our opponents.
Whoever our future opponents may be, we need to have enough funds to stand up against the millions that corporate PACs and lobbyists are willing to pay to unseat a bold progressive like Ro.
Your support is why Ro was elected in the first place and we need your help to do it again.
Thank you,
Ro Khanna for Congress
