John,

When Ben Franklin left the Constitutional Convention in 1787, he was asked what kind of government the Founders had chosen. His answer: "A republic, if you can keep it."

I joined the Navy at 17 to defend our republic and the values it stands for. I ran for Congress as a first-time candidate in 2018 because I knew our democracy was under threat.

Today, Ben Franklin’s words ring truer than ever.

The GOP has faithfully followed Donald Trump down the path of obstruction, election denial, and disinformation – and our democracy is suffering for it.

That’s why I need allies like you in this battle to keep our democracy. Will you split a $25 contribution between Democracy Defense Fund and my campaign to help us banish right-wing extremism from the halls of power? [[link removed]]

Now, I’m running in the most competitive House race in the nation against one of Donald Trump’s devoted election-denying allies – and the Republican political machine has already spent $4 million against me.

If they succeed, they’ll have yet another rubber stamp in Congress. Please, will you split $25 between Democracy Defense Fund and my campaign to help us win this battleground race and defend our House majority in November? [[link removed]]

I’ll never stop working to build a better country for my daughter’s generation, and I’m grateful to have you by my side, John.

Thanks for reading,

Elaine
