Friend --
I'm doing everything I can in Congress to solve the problems we face. (Heck, I joined the Problem Solvers Caucus on my first day on the Hill.) I can only do it thanks to all of you who answer the call and chip in when I ask in these emails.
If it feels like the stakes have never been higher, that's because it's true. Too many of my Republican colleagues would prefer to deny the science of climate change than defy their special interest backers. They'd rather minimize the January 6 insurrection than push back on President Trump and his cronies. But even now, even with an opposition like that, I want you to know, I've never been more optimistic about the future we can write together -- but only if we work together.
Look, Republicans in the House have shown us how far they'll go to attain power. That's why it's absolutely critical that we keep Congress in Democratic hands next year – and that's why I'm so grateful to have you on my team.
After Friday, we'll have to file our 2021 fundraising numbers publicly for all to see – and we're still $25,000 short of where we need to be. So I'm personally asking: Will you chip in to bolster our end-of-year report and help us hold the House?

I'm committed to never taking money from PACs, lobbyists, or other members of Congress – and the more grassroots money we raise through emails like these, the more time I can spend solving problems. This past year, I've seen how House Democrats are working to deliver for Americans at this critical moment – and I'm going into 2022 as hopeful as ever.
But winning next year is going to take all of us. So as our official end-of-year deadline approaches, we're trying something new: Every single donor who chips in between now and midnight Friday will have their name added to our virtual 2021 Donor Wall. It's going to be really cool to see – and with donors from all over the country, it's the most practical way to truly appreciate the size of the progressive movement we're building.
If you can (and only if you can), please chip in to help us close our fundraising gap and build a winning campaign for 2022 – and check back in on Friday to see your name on the wall.
Thanks and keep the faith,
Dean
