Hey John —

I want to be real with you. Summer is a slow time for campaigns like ours, and we've seen a little dip in the number of donations we’ve received this month. If you want to ignore the rest of this email and make a donation of $5 or more right now, by all means feel free.

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


That's a problem because, while the donations have slowed down, our campaign to defeat Mike Garcia and flip CA-27 from red to blue is ramping up. This is a true grassroots campaign, meaning we rely on those donations to keep us going. Which means we really can’t fall behind now.

Here's the deal — when you chip in, your money supports every part of our campaign operation.

Your donations go to our volunteer teams so they're prepared with clipboards, campaign lit, and proper amounts of caffeine to make sure they can talk to as many voters as possible.

Your donations help grow our organizing and campaign team who train and lead volunteers, it pays the bills to keep our office doors open, and they pay for ads so our message can reach voters we otherwise would not be able to reach.

While it would be easier to just ask rich corporate lobbyists and super PACs to write me a check, that's not how I do things. I have to ask,will you chip in $5 or right now to help us hit our $25,000 mid-month goal by this Friday to keep our campaign on track? I'm so grateful for your support, John.

Christy Smith is running an entirely grassroots campaign that doesn't rely on corporate PAC or special interest money. Your generous support is key to flipping CA-27 from red to blue. As one of only 14 "toss-up" races in the country, the path to holding our Democratic majority in Congress goes straight through CA-27. Will you pitch in and help flip this seat red to blue once and for all?
