Friend,

I knew that attacks would be coming our way, but I didn't expect this:

Over the weekend, we got word that some unmarked mailers had made their way to voters’ mailboxes. They contained some pretty heinous attacks on "E.R.I.C" -- an “Extreme Radical Indoctrinating Children” -- I wonder who that might be?

The obvious implication is that because I'm gay, a vote for me means a vote for "sexual perversion" against children. Oh, and they threw in an illustration of a terrified kid for good measure:

This is sickening, but it's not shocking -- and I'm not holding my breath for my opponent Esther King to comment about this homophobic attack.

The truth is that the GOP has a longstanding policy of embracing this kind of hateful rhetoric. I grew up in an era when homophobic scare tactics were normal. It’s a shame we’re reverting back to this sort of shameful bigotry.

I've got thick skin, friend. If anything, this a reminder that our campaign is bigger than just flipping a House seat -- this is about standing up to the extremism and hate that’s only grown in recent years. We need to restore some decency to the halls of Congress. That's why I'm running, and it's why I need your support:

The far-right is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to crush our momentum. I’m hoping you can make a $5 contribution to help us fight back and win this seat. Every donation sends a message that we will not back down to the extremists looking to take over in our community.
