Hey friend, this is Rep. Mark Takano. I’m reaching out because I have a really important favor to ask you.

Can you chip in just $1 (that's not a mistake or a typo) to our progressive movement right now?

Let me explain:

From the start, this campaign was built by grassroots activists and everyday Americans who stepped up in small but important ways to help elect a gay, Japanese-American, teacher, and progressive (me!) to Congress.

Since then, you all have helped me accomplish so much -- we’ve fought for LGBTQ+ rights, stood up to MAGA extremism, and championed veterans’ well-being.

To this day, this movement and everything we’ve worked for has continued to rely on small-dollar donors like YOU, friend -- not big Super PACs and billionaires like so many of my counterparts in the GOP.

But I have a major fundraising deadline coming up at the end of the month -- after that all my fundraising records will go public.

So -- let’s show everyone that $1 can change the world.

I’m calling on each and every one of you to chip in just $1 to my campaign to keep building on our successes, fight back against hateful extremism, and build a better nation that works for all Americans. Chip in $1 NOW! »

Thank you,

Mark Takano
Congressman, CA-41
