Hey, everyone!

I want to start by saying thank you for your support. Thanks to you, we accomplished more than we thought was possible in the last 30 days, so I wanted to share a quick update on three important fronts.

We needed to hit our fundraising targets in September to counter the attack ads that my conservative opponents started running. Thanks to your support, we surpassed our monthly fundraising goal with nearly 10,000 grassroots donors supporting our campaign.

We also need to elevate the key issues in this race, so we held a gun violence prevention forum with Moms Demand Action, a roundtable on abortion rights with EMILY’s List, and a conversation about the future of Oregon with local high school students.

Third, we had the first televised debate of the general election in Bend – and I went in feeling strong because I know we have the best team of supporters. The contrast in the race became very clear that night. While I shared my plans for tackling our state’s biggest challenges, my opponents were very light on details and proved that they are too right-wing when it comes to gun violence, climate change, and other critical issues.

Now, it’s crunch time, John. Ballots will be hitting mailboxes this month, and #TeamTina is working non-stop on the final push to reach voters and get out the vote.

Together, we’re building this campaign on grassroots support, and this same people-driven organizing will help us finish strong. Thank you for your support in this work.

I’m incredibly grateful to have you with me. Onward to November!
