John,

I hope you got to spend yesterday with people you love and some really good food.

I really can't believe we are at the end of November and that December is right around the corner. It feels like this year has gone by so fast. Over the next couple of days my team and I will be sharing a few reasons why -- why me, why Mike Garcia isn't the right fit for this district, and why now.

But first, I want to make an appeal directly from me to you.

We had our team meeting before the holiday and my fundraising director, Catherine, told me we have to raise $10,000 to stay on pace with Mike and his special interest dollars. Will you chip in to help us hit it?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:


And while you'll be hearing from Catherine and the rest of my team over the next couple of days, I want you to hear from me first. 

I can't win this campaign without you on my team -- I mean that.

So if you have already given, thank you, and I hope you'll become a recurring donor. If you haven't jumped into this I hope today you'll chip in for the first time to help us hit our goal. Thank you for all of your support. I couldn't do this without you.

-- Christy
