John,

I'm reaching out to you because — simply put — time is running out. Ballots are already being mailed across the country for the midterm election, and it's going to come down to the wire.

In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign to defeat this Trump-led MAGA Republican movement. Please give me a chance to explain why this request — especially today —is so important.

Here is the truth:

A few days from today, we close the books on the FINAL end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline of this midterm. When it's over, we're legally required to report not just how much money we've raised, but how many donations we've received.

Everyone will be watching.

It will be our last chance to show people the strength of our grassroots campaign before mail ballots are sent. That's why our goal is not just how much money we raise, but how many donations we receive.

What do you say? Tens of millions of Americans have a ballot in their hands, and this is a close race to defend our 5-seat majority. Every donation we receive before this deadline counts.

Can you please make a $10 contribution to our campaign to help us beat this Trump-led MAGA movement? We'll put your donation right to work. We must make sure Democrats return their ballots.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Thank you,

— Adam Schiff
