John xxxxxx — Our campaign is in the midst of a summer slowdown, with grassroots contributions drying up and less people donating to emails like this one.

We aren’t telling you this to sound the alarm or trick you into thinking that the sky’s falling — a few slower weeks aren’t the end of the world as long as we still have time to make up ground.

But the truth is, there is no summer slowdown for the other side, who can go back to their well of super PACs and mega donors when things get tough.

John xxxxxx, will you help us make up ground from our summer slowdown with a $5 donation today? Grassroots donations power Hakeem’s work for progress and fuel his fight to defend the Democratic House majority.

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

When grassroots donations dry up, Republicans can turn to their billionaire backers.

They can cash checks from the special interests that Hakeem and House Democrats are fighting to hold accountable in Washington.

Kevin McCarthy can host million-dollar fundraising events — like when he netted $9.5 million at a Trump hotel fundraiser earlier this year.

Hakeem doesn’t have those luxuries available to him — nor does he want to. He’s running this campaign For the People, with supporters like you at the heart of our movement.

John xxxxxx, will you help us keep pace with Republicans by donating to support Hakeem's reelection campaign? Hakeem is counting on your support to keep up his work to protect and expand our Democratic House majority.
