John,
I want to take this opportunity to give you a few updates directly from campaign HQ. It's important to me that you're kept in the loop.
• I'm running against GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy. In the past month, he joked about "hitting" Nancy Pelosi with the gavel and he's threatening companies that release GOP records to investigators looking into the Jan. 6th insurrection. He's either protecting Trump or he has something bigger to hide.
• Right now, McCarthy is blanketing our community with misleading information about his record in DC. McCarthy can't hide from the truth. While he's protecting the likes of Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Central Valley suffers. We're one of the poorest areas in the state and he isn't doing a damn thing about it -- no matter what his glossy postcards say.
• In response, our team is ramping up our field efforts. We're hiring bilingual canvassers to make sure everyone in the 23rd knows that I'm the viable Democrat running against him.
• To fully fund our field operation, we have to hit our $25,000 goal before the end of the week, and unfortunately we're coming up $9,981 short.
John, can you chip in $3 before midnight to help us keep pace and close this fundraising gap? Anything you give will help me make sure we can correct GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy's record and take him to task right here in his Kern County backyard.

Too much is at stake for our working families, small businesses, and farmers -- and really, the entire country -- to miss the mark on this goal.
Let's do this,
