Friend,

I want to start off by saying one thing right up top: Thank you. Because of your generosity, we hit our $50,000 fundraising goal right before the legislative fundraising freeze Friday at midnight.

That's an incredible show of grassroots support, because every single bit of it came from small donations from folks like you.

I know it's so hard this time of year to find an extra few dollars to support a campaign, but I'm so grateful to every single person who chipped in -- we're now prepared to come out of this freeze stronger than ever, especially with all the progress we hope to make in Olympia this session.

I'm looking forward to keeping you updated on that progress in the coming months -- but until then, I wish you and your family a truly happy holiday season.

Very truly yours,

Jay
