John, we have some news to share: After Lauren submitted a record number of petition signatures to file for reelection in the 14th district, Republicans have challenged the validity of our paperwork and are trying to kick her off the ballot.

It’s disappointing, but not all that surprising. After all, these are the same people who tried to cast doubt in our free and fair elections and overturn the results of Lauren’s 2020 election — all because they were unhappy with the outcome.

Well just like last time, their dirty tricks won’t work, John.

Our team is preparing to file a motion to dismiss this challenge and keep Lauren on the ballot so she can continue making progress for our communities. But this charade is going to take up a lot of our staff’s time and resources, so we’re turning to you:

Before you log off for the weekend, will you pitch in to help us fight back against this right-wing attack and prepare for what’s to come? This race will be close, which is why Republicans are already on the offense.

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

When Lauren launched her reelection campaign, we knew the attacks would roll in — and John, this is only just the beginning. But with this incredible grassroots team by our side, we know we can overcome whatever they throw our way.

Thanks for everything.
