Friend -- this week is a big one for us -- we have a mid-month fundraising goal of $10,000 to raise by midnight tonight.

A candidate taking money from PACs or special interests raises that in minutes. But we're not relying on outside dark money groups. You know that's never how I'll run my campaigns.

If we're going to keep fighting to end the disruptive impact big money has on our politics, hold the House majority, and do the government repair work that our country desperately needs, I need to hear from you.

Before midnight, help us reach our mid-month goal. Let's send a message to the outside groups that want to see us fail.

Or, if your payment information is saved with ActBlue, click below and your contribution will go through immediately:

This race is starting to heat up. Groups like the NRCC are investing in potential opponents because they know how much is at stake. They see this race as a must-win.

And so do I. Protecting affordable health care. Getting money out of politics. Combating climate change. There's so much at stake, and with everything about 2020 up in the air, our race could come down to the wire.

I know you want to make a difference. I know that you believe in the power of what we can accomplish when we work together. That's why I'm asking you to invest in our movement right now.

No PACs, no special interests. Just grassroots contributors like you. That's how we're funding this campaign, and why I'm asking you to join me. Chip in to keep us moving forward.

Thank you,

Dean
