This is scary, John.

The GOP just had a major victory in Virginia. An extremist Republican just flipped Virginia red, and the GOP now feels they have the power to pull our left-leaning state farther to the right than ever before.

If the GOP could take blue Virginia, John, they could take New Mexico, too. Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to kick me out of office, and I urgently need your help to defend our state. 

That's why I need your help. I need to raise an emergency $10,000 to fend off GOP attacks. Will you donate $5 right now to stop Republicans from flipping New Mexico red?

We've already seen what happens when the GOP takes charge: In Georgia, the Governor signed an extreme voter suppression bill into law. In Florida, the Governor banned school mask mandates. And in Texas, the Governor just placed a near-total ban on abortion. 

From public health to voting rights, there's just too much on the line here to sit and hope that the GOP doesn't try to take New Mexico. We have to garner enough resources to run phonebanks, knock on doors, and put in the hard work to reach every single New Mexico voter. And the truth is, I can't do that without your help.

I need to raise $10,000 by midnight tonight to hit my fundraising deadline, run a strong campaign, and fight back against the GOP. I can't fend off the GOP alone, so I'm really counting on you to contribute today: Will you donate $5 – or whatever you can – right now to stop the GOP and keep New Mexico blue? Every dollar you give will help us avoid a repeat of the Virginia election.

I'm working every day to create a brighter New Mexico – regardless of Republican pushback. It means so much to have you on my side.

Thank you,
