I’m reaching out to ask you something important:
In a few short weeks, 2022 will be here — and midterms season will be upon us. For me that means: in-person events, on-the-ground organizing across California’s 17th, voter outreach via ads, majorly expanding our digital program — every tool we have to defend this seat and protect our progressive power in Congress.
I believe in us. I know our progressive caucus in the House is only going to grow stronger. We’re going to win more historic victories for working people, and bring America closer to Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.
But the path there doesn’t exist yet. Every day, it’s paved by people like you.
Specifically, I’m looking for your help as one of the few members of Congress to reject ALL contributions from PACs and lobbyists — which means millions of dollars left on the table. And the truth is, our grassroots fundraising has taken a significant dip. We’re on track to start 2022 thousands of dollars short of what’s required for our campaign budget.
I’m personally asking if you can help us get an early start on our end-of-year goal to raise $20,000 in online donations. It’s what we need to raise to build my re-election campaign and continue carving out progressive power in Congress.
Will you please make your first contribution to my campaign now? Our average contribution this month is around $30, but I’m grateful for any amount you can chip in to bring us closer to our end-of-year goal.
If we fall short of this end-of-year fundraising goal, we won’t only be hamstringing our ability to reach and turn out voters in my district. We’re required to report our end-of-year fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission — meaning our grassroots deficit becomes public information.
Truth be told, that’s a worst-case scenario. I’d become a target, and our movement to prove we don’t need corporate money in politics would be seriously hurt.
But we still have time to turn the tide. That’s why I’m asking if you’ll pitch in today. If you’re proud of the work our movement is doing to support working families through the pandemic, to hold Big Oil CEOs accountable, and so much more, now is a critical time to show your support.
Thank you for your time, your generosity, and your belief in our movement.
In solidarity,
Ro
