Friend – this month, I attended the UN Climate Conference in Glasgow. The world's leaders had gathered from dozens of countries to discuss how best to defeat climate change, a potent threat to us all. I played only a small part but I left with a renewed sense of purpose – a reminder of why our policies must be driven by data and science.

Here's the thing, friend: Climate change is accelerating, and it's already affecting millions of Americans – even in my own community and across our Commonwealth. Unfortunately, too many in the Republican Party don't think it's a priority. That's why, with our pro-science House majority on the line, I need your help now:

Please, friend, will you donate $5 or more now to defend this battleground seat, our House majority, and the future of our country from anti-science Republicans?

From COVID-19 to climate change, too many in the GOP simply refuse to listen to the experts who have dedicated their lives to knowledge, choosing instead to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories.

Our Commonwealth and our country are counting on someone who will listen to the experts – not just shady special-interest groups – to make the best decisions for our families. I cannot sit on the sidelines as the GOP tries to advance their dangerous, anti-science agenda. I promise to continue fighting for you and your family, but I can't do it without your help now, friend.

With the GOP naming me one of their top targets, my two opponents writing their campaigns checks to buy this seat, and Republican-led gerrymandering on the horizon, this election will be an uphill battle.

That's why I'm counting on you to help me hit my $7,000 midnight goal and make sure we have the resources to fight back against GOP attacks and keep this battleground seat – and the House – blue.

Please, donate $5 before midnight tomorrow to help us reach our critical fundraising goal and defend this seat and our House majority. Every single dollar will go directly to communicating our positive message and making sure that our path to progress continues forward.

Thank you so much for being on my team.

As always, there is work to be done!
