This is scary, John.

The GOP just tried – and failed – to recall Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in California. Their scheme to remove a Democratic Governor from office didn't work this time, but I see this as an ominous warning for the future. 

If extreme Republicans tried to remove a Democratic Governor in a state as blue as California, I know that they'll fight tooth and nail to beat me in New Mexico. 

That's why I need your help. I need to raise $12,771 to hit tonight's fundraising goal and fend off GOP attacks. Will you donate $5 right now to stop Republicans from flipping New Mexico red?

We've already seen what happens when the GOP takes charge: In Georgia, the Governor signed an extreme voter suppression bill into law. In Florida, the Governor banned school mask mandates. And in Texas, the Governor just placed a near-total ban on abortion. 

From public health to voting rights, there's just too much on the line here to sit and hope that the GOP doesn't try to take New Mexico. We have to garner enough resources to run phonebanks, knock on doors, and put in the hard work to reach every single New Mexico voter. And the truth is, I can't do that without your help.

I need to raise $12,771 by midnight tonight to hit my fundraising deadline, run a strong campaign, and fight back against the GOP. I can't fend off the GOP alone, so I'm really counting on you to contribute today: Will you donate $5 – or whatever you can – right now to stop the GOP and keep New Mexico blue? Every dollar you give will help us avoid a repeat of the California recall.

I'm working every day to create a brighter New Mexico – regardless of Republican pushback. It means so much to have you on my side.

Thank you,
