Hey friend — We just had our senior staff meeting at headquarters, and I’ll be honest, I walked away pretty concerned. Here’s why:

• A leading political forecaster, Larry Sabato, downgraded the outlook of our race, saying that Brittany now has only the slimmest of advantages over our Republican opponent.

• The two most recent polls show Brittany leading her anti-choice opponent by only 2% and 3%.

• A far-right super PAC has reserved over $4 million in TV ads in this media market to attack Brittany.

• We were counting on August being a BIG online fundraising month to help us fight back, but we’re currently on pace to fall $2,722 short of our goal.

Listen, friend, this isn’t my first campaign (or Brittany’s), and nobody here is panicking. Every race has ups and downs. But we’re also realistic — when you’re facing both tightening polls AND a fundraising disadvantage, you have to step up your game. It’s as simple as that.

Friend, this is a critical moment for your support, so I am urgently asking you to rush a $20 contribution today and help us power Brittany to victory over her far-right, anti-choice opponent →

I promise you that Team Pettersen is going to work harder than ever to win this race and protect our Democratic House majority. We know how much is on the line, from the right to choose to the integrity of our democracy.

But we also know we can’t win without more support. Unlike our opponent, Brittany doesn’t have a right-wing dark money group coming to her rescue. And as a working mom, she can’t write herself a seven-figure check.

That’s why we’re counting on this grassroots team. We’ve had incredible momentum over the last six months, and we can’t let it falter now. Here is a link to pitch in today: secure.actblue.com/donate/pettersen-august

Thank you so much,
