Quick update, John.
We just got word that Kevin McCarthy raised over $14 million in the last quarter in his bid to take back the House and become Speaker. That number may seem large, but in this email, I'm going to explain how it happened and why we can DEFEAT McCarthy at the ballot box. Let me break this down:
Kevin McCarthy is stooping lower than ever by continuing to push Trump's "Big Lie" about the 2020 election. Pundits are calling it "an extreme MAGA makeover," which is exactly why the far-right donor base has rushed to fill his coffers after January 6th.
If McCarthy's tenure wasn't bad enough already, now he's completely ignoring Central Valley families by operating lockstep with Trump's agenda. He's stood firmly against COVID-19 relief -- but when it comes to stopping the Jan 6th investigation, he's all in.
We need to make sure that undecided voters in our community know that Kevin has turned his back on us, but in order to do so, we need to raise the funds needed to staff our field effort. That's where you come in:
We're setting a rush goal of raising $25,000 by the end of the week to push back against the right-wing cash dump coming in for McCarthy. Will you chip in $3 to help us hit our goal? Anything you give goes straight to work reaching more voters in CA-23.

The truth is that fundraising is just one small part of winning an election. It's important to remember where McCarthy's money is coming from and why, and how voters will make their choice at the ballot box.
But there is a baseline of funds we need to fund our voter contact effort. I've been amazed at how many grassroots donors have chipped in already. With this goal in front of us, I would be grateful if you'd make a contribution of $3 today.
