You're probably looking at the same headlines as I am... so I won't mince words, John – election night 2021 was not a good one for Democrats. When we're looking ahead to another close slate of elections in 2022 in Georgia – including my own re-election campaign – results like these aren't good data points.

And today, the Georgia State Legislature gaveled in for their November special redistricting session. We could see their updated proposed district lines literally any day now. 

Needless to say, between these two things, I'm on edge about what this means in the future for myself and Democrats everywhere.

The last thing I want to have to worry about in a moment like this is whether or not our grassroots fundraising is still on track for re-election. So, can I count on you to chip in whatever you can at this link right now? www.secure.actblue.com/donate/lkm-email-1121

Thanks for having my back – we're going to be in for a fight to hold on to this seat and for Democrats to hold the House in 2022. Any amount you can give now helps us get ready for any scenario that Republicans can throw at us.
