Fellow Georgians,

Republicans have launched an all out assault on our democracy itself, and it’s put people like me — a Black Congressman representing rural Georgia — in danger of losing my seat.

I’ve never faced an election challenge like this before. Can you split $25 between my campaign and the Democratic Party of Georgia to defend my seat and the House majority?

We know when Republicans win, it leads to failing schools, shuttered hospitals, and a lack of support for our rural communities. We have to keep fighting for our democracy, for unity, and for a renewed faith in the promise of America.

Simply put: it’s going to be tough.

Here in Georgia, Republicans are furious after we beat them so badly last cycle. First, they passed a shameful voter suppression bill designed to restrict access to the ballot box for poor, elderly, rural, and non-white Georgians. Then, they redrew my seat to make it harder for me to win again.

And now, national Republicans are pouring more money than they ever have into Georgia, — the NRCC has released attack ad after attack ad against me!

If we can’t defend seats like mine this cycle, Democrats WILL lose the House.

But to stay on track to win in November, I need to raise $15,000 by tonight at midnight. Can you split $25 between my campaign and Democratic Party of Georgia to defend my seat and our democracy?

Together, we will hold the House and defend our democracy.

Respectfully,
Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr.
