Hi John,

As you know by now, I am running for re-election in California’s newly-drawn 18th district. This includes my home in San Jose and some areas that I have represented in Congress and local office for a number of years — but it is also nearly half new territory for me. I am now running where many voters are not familiar with me or my record and my work in Congress — and they have never seen my name on a ballot.

This is a very different re-election effort for me. This time, I have to use the resources I raise from friends and supporters to run my own campaign — to hold meet and greet opportunities, get out my message, organize voters, and fund a GOTV program. As you can imagine, all of this gets quite expensive.

And it is so important that we reach every deadline benchmark to have what we need to win.

We need 150 donations by the end of the month to ensure we stay on track. Can I count on you to make a donation to my campaign? Anything you can chip in would be a huge help right now.
  CHIP IN NOW Your encouragement and support are crucial to the success of my campaign. And I am very grateful for both.

Zoe
