John,

You've heard from this team about why you should be on Team Christy and you've heard from us about why Mike isn't the right fit for this district.

Today, I want to talk to you about why we need your donations now.

The beginning of a campaign is the most critical because it sets the tone for the entire campaign. It means we're able to build a team full of experts and volunteers who can guide this campaign to a win. In fact, my whole job is raising enough money to help this campaign build the infrastructure it needs to be successful.

Donating right now means you would be helping us set the foundation for this campaign. You would be a part of building something really special right here in CA-25. We're only $2,267 away from hitting our end-of-month goal -- will you pitch in today? I've been with Christy all week as she's talked to supporters from across the district and we'll tell you the same thing Christy tells them -- the founding members of this team will play a critical role in what this campaign is able to build.

I have a check-in with Christy tomorrow morning and I need to tell her if we were able to hit this goal -- I would love to give her some good news.

We hope you'll be one of our founding team members and that you'll chip in today to help us hit this end-of-month goal. Thanks being in this with us -- from the beginning,

-- Catherine Coddington,
Finance Director
