Friend --

Here are three things you need to know about our race:

- The elections analysts at Inside Elections have downgraded TJ’s district from a “likely” Democratic seat to one that merely “tilts” Democratic -- a strong shift in the Republicans’ direction.

- Last week, we got word that TJ’s opponent David Valadao outraised us by collecting nearly $60,000 from corporate PACs.

- Now, Politico is reporting that “Republican prospects now look brighter” in CA-21.

Republicans are desperate to notch a win in California, and they think TJ’s district might be their best opportunity to do just that. So we’re doing everything in our power to prepare right now.

Will you make a $3 donation to our campaign today? We’ll put your contribution right to work keeping CA-21 blue.

While Valadao continues to lean on corporate checks, TJ is counting on individual like you to keep this seat blue. We'll never consider that a disadvantage, but it’s crucial that we build the resources we need early in order to fight back.

Thanks in advance for chipping in.

Team TJ
