Friend,

I'm so proud of this grassroots team for stepping up and giving in August -- a month that's typically slower on the fundraising front. Thank you for believing in our campaign to bring optimism to Congress!

As you know, dark money groups went on the offensive this past month. They ramped up their efforts to divide us because they’re scared that our brand of politics might actually deliver, shaking up the status quo.

That's why these fundraising drives are so important: We need resources to expose their lies and share our message of optimism and hope. Thanks for sticking with me. We’re building something great -- together!

With profound gratitude,

Dean
