I'll be direct, John.
I’m writing to ask you to make a donation to help us reach our online fundraising goal for the month, and there’s a reason why your donation is so important -- especially right now.
Over the last few weeks, my campaign has faced a surge in misleading attacks from both my opponent and his Republican allies in Washington. It’s the stuff you expect to see — a lot of buzzwords like "radical" and "socialist.” Light on substance, but high on partisanship and pandering to the far-right.
Smears like these are nothing new for us, John. But the reality is our race is going to be very close. The latest polls show my race virtually neck and neck, and it’s only a matter of time before these petty smears turn into million-dollar commercials on TV. So with that, I have to ask:
November is usually a difficult month for fundraising and we’re coming up a bit short of our goal. Can I count on you to make a donation of $5 today to help us pick up the pace and prepare for the attacks coming our way?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
No matter comes our way, we’re still going to run a campaign focused on the issues that matter to California families -- affordable healthcare for all, reducing the cost of prescription drugs, treating our veterans with dignity and respect, and taking bold action to protect our coastlines and our planet.
And since we’re not taking any corporate PAC contributions, none of this would be possible without your continued support. So thanks in advance for chipping in to help us reach our goal.
All my best,
Mike
