Happy New Year's Eve, John!
We wanted to reach out just one last time before midnight to make sure you saw Cori's email from earlier today.
Our end-of-year fundraising deadline is coming up in just a few hours, and currently we're falling just 6% short. John, you've had Cori's back through the ups and downs of 2021, so we have to ask:
Will you chip in $5 or more before midnight to help hit our $100,000 goal and re-elect Cori in 2022?
Political pundits, potential future opponents, and the GOP will be looking to see what numbers we report to the FEC after tonight's deadline. We hope you will stand with Cori to show everyone just how strong our movement is.
Please, take a moment to read Cori's email and chip in whatever makes sense for you to power Cori's work for bold, anti-racist, progressive change in Congress.
Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy New Year.
— Team Cori

John,
New Year's Eve always makes me nostalgic, and I can't help but reminisce this morning.
Growing up, I never thought I'd get involved in politics. I dreamt of becoming a nurse and having close friends and family. On days like today, I laugh wondering what that little girl would think of the woman she'd become — a mother, activist, and Member of Congress.
Today, I am proud to represent Missouri's First District in Congress. We've accomplished so much together in our first year in office. With your support, we introduced the Green New Deal for Cities to bring climate investments to local communities, the People's Response Act to transform our system of public safety, and the Keeping Renters Safe Act to give the Department of Health and Human Services the permanent authority to implement eviction moratoriums during public health crises.
But our work is far from over. There is still so much mobilizing we need to do to make progress on racial, economic, and environmental justice and represent folks who have been overlooked for far too long. That's why we've set a goal to raise $100,000 by tonight's end-of-year fundraising deadline.
The challenges we've faced this past year have shown us just how important it is we stay united in our work to save lives.
White supremacists attacked the Capitol in a deadly attempted coup. Republicans are attempting to ban abortion, and Roe v. Wade is in jeopardy in the Supreme Court. And still every day, people are struggling because they can't afford rent, food, or medicine, Black and brown people are dying at the hands of police, and the climate crisis continues to disproportionately harm Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities.
The challenges we face are immense. But I know that when we work together, we have the power to move mountains.
Thank you for all of your support.
Your Congresswoman loves you,
Cori
