John,
Every public hearing on PA redistricting has made it 100% clear that the GOP is throwing all its weight into drawing me out of a seat. And my Q3 fundraising numbers have been public for over a month, giving the GOP ample time to pore over every detail for signs of weakness—if only to justify their plan to gerrymander me out of my seat.
As the hyper-partisan redistricting process here in PA kicks into high gear, I'm increasingly concerned. And this week The NY Times reported that in other states, the GOP has already succeeded in creating a "more distorted, more disjointed and more gerrymandered" map than anything they've seen since 1965, the year the Voting Rights Act was passed.
We're going to fight every GOP dirty trick in PA. We've already launched our Litigation Fund.
But we still have $4,800 to raise before tonight's fundraising deadline.
I could really use your help right now. I need to prove that my campaign is strong, and that my supporters will fight for me. You've been there for me when I've needed it most. That's why I'm asking you directly: Would you please chip in whatever you can to help us meet our Fundraising Deadline tonight?
I truly can't thank you enough for helping me right now. I'm so grateful to have you watching my back so that I can focus on fighting for our future. Thank you for all you do.
