John -- I wanted to make sure you caught Marie's message about the new endorsements we just received, as well as our big push to meet our January Organizing Fund goal.

Our growing support sends a strong message about the record of success Marie's achieved in one year – and her unwavering commitment to progressive values. We know that this record will prove powerful with the electorate.

But first, we have to pull out all the stops so that Marie is on the primary ballot. It's critical that we can hit the ground running when the rush to collect ballot petitions begins. So please, pitch in whatever you can to help us meet our goal this week -- we have to raise $812 more by tonight.

Thank you,

Ben Hardin
Campaign Manager

John, our campaign was endorsed last week by eight incredible members of Congress -- including the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the chair of the House Transportation Committee.

In my first term, I’ve delivered unprecedented results for my constituents and built a broad coalition to get things done. I am thrilled and forever thankful to receive the support of my colleagues in Congress and I can’t wait to keep fighting for the people of my district.

This positive news for our campaign comes just as the pace of our primary election is ramping up. In just three days, we begin the work of collecting petitions to make sure we appear on the June primary ballot. We'll need to be able to hire organizers and steadily recruit volunteers starting this week, and that takes resources.

We've set a January Organizing Fund goal of $5,000 and are aiming to meet it by Wednesday, the day before ballot petitions can start being collected. Will you chip in $5 -- or any amount -- to help us reach this goal?

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

Chip in $5	Chip in $25
Chip in $50	Chip in $100
Chip in $250	Other amount

We know we're up against machine politics and many special interest groups. We're taking nothing for granted and plan to cover all bases to ensure that we make the ballot. That critical work starts this week.

-Marie
