Hi John, it’s Adam Schiff.

Our time before the midterm elections is running out for me and Speaker Pelosi, so I am reaching out to you one more time before millions of voters begin to receive their ballots in the mail.

Many House races are coming down to the wire, so in just a moment I am going to ask you to send a contribution to our campaigns to defeat the Republican Party’s attempted takeover of the House of Representatives. 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 quarterly FEC fundraising deadline of the midterm elections. 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, including Kevin McCarthy and the Super PACs funding his Republican candidates, will be watching.

It will be our last chance to show people before we vote the momentum driving our historic effort to protect our razor thin 5-seat House majority. That’s why our goal is not just how much we raise, but how many donations we receive.

So what do you say, John? Millions of voters in battleground districts already have a ballot in their hands and Democrats’ polling advantage is within the margin of error. Every donation we receive before this deadline counts and will give us the resources we need to shore up our candidates in battleground districts and Red-to-Blue races.

Can you please make a $5 contribution to our campaigns to help us beat the Republican effort to flip the House? We’ll put your donation right to work. We must make sure Democrats vote in the largest number possible and defend our 5-seat majority. >>
