John,
I wanted to make sure you saw the news about our self-funding, Republican opponent. This is a bit concerning.
Last quarter we raised over $500,000 thanks to individual and grassroots donors. But in the same period, my opponent dumped $500,000 from his own personal fortune into his campaign coffers.
Here's the blunt truth:
Politico just released a report that House Democrats may be "losing their fundraising edge" to the GOP. Some of it’s due to natural donor fatigue. Some is because donors are holding out until the picture clears after redistricting.
Whatever the case may be, I’m the only targeted Democrat in California running against a multi-millionaire self-funder.
It's only a matter of time before this campaign cash turns into attack ads against me. This is a true swing district, and we can't take any chances. Can I count on you to make a donation of $3 today to help us pick up the pace and prepare for the attacks coming our way?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Despite the challenges ahead, I'm still more than confident in the strength of our grassroots team. I'd take thousands of individual contributions over a huge check any day. Grassroots support means so much more, and it adds up to a winning effort.
Some may think we're at a disadvantage going up against a self-funder, but I consider our people power to be our biggest strength.
With our opponent on the march, please add a contribution of $3 to make sure we have the resources to beat back the inevitable attacks coming our way.
Together,
Mike
