We always knew this race was going to be close, folks.

FiveThirtyEight shows Pat winning by only a few points — and that margin is too close for comfort, especially this close to the election.

Republicans are desperate to flip this seat in their favor — and they’ll spend whatever it takes to do it.

We need to respond to their negative ad buys, funded by dark money PACs, with more voter outreach, more ads highlighting Pat’s achievements, and more grassroots support, which is why we’re asking:

With just two days until our final end-of-quarter fundraising deadline, we could really use your support. Can you pitch in a few dollars to help us build our lead between us and our Republican opponent?

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

There’s no question about it: Republicans are optimistic about their chances in this district.

Kevin McCarthy has reserved ads trying to flip this seat since early this year, and even more resources have come into play since then.

We know that Pat has what it takes to win, but with more money coming in to support Colin Schmitt, we need to ramp up our campaign efforts even more.

We set an ambitious end-of-quarter goal to have what it takes to match this outside spending; can you help us reach it by making a contribution today?
