John,

It's officially election year and November will be here before we know it. With election experts calling our race a "toss-up" and three Republican challengers already running against me, we need to kick things into high gear in order to protect my seat and the Democratic House majority.

But running any campaign isn't cheap and our race will be one of the most expensive congressional races in the country. After redistricting, we have over 150,000 new voters to reach in the redrawn 8th congressional district, so we need to make sure we have the resources to hit the road and reach voters in every corner of our newly drawn district.

One of the ways you can help make the biggest impact on this campaign is by becoming a monthly donor. Knowing my team and I can count on your support every month – whether it's $1, $5, or $25 – helps us plan our budget and ensure we're prepared for whatever national Republicans and our opponents throw our way.

Will you commit to a monthly recurring donation to my campaign from now until Election Day? Your sustained support will help us protect my seat and our Democratic House majority.
