I haven’t written to you in a while, John -- so you know it’s important.

This morning, Politico rated our race as Lean GOP -- just one step away from Toss-Up.

Let’s be clear -- this is good news for our campaign. It may still be early on in this race, but this means that our campaign is making some serious progress.

But we need your help to keep up the momentum and continue moving the needle. This is going to be an expensive and increasingly competitive race, so any amount you can donate is going to go a long way.

For too long now, Southwest Washington has been left behind by an absent representative. Instead of listening to us here at home, Jaime Herrera Beutler has been listening to DC lobbyists, taking their money and marching orders, and voting to gut protections for pre-existing conditions and health care coverage.

Carolyn isn’t going to play nice with the DC insiders who use their dark money to handpick politicians.

That’s why she’s powering this homegrown operation $5, $25, and $50 at a time from generous people like you. This is how we almost won last year, how we’ll win next year, and how we’ll hit each of our goals along the way.

We’re just a few donations short of our November goal, and it would mean the world if someone in xxxxxx would help out. Any amount will help us power our campaign and turn your town blue. Can you chip in?

Thanks for all you’ve done now and then to support Team Long.
