John,

I remember this period of my 2020 campaign vividly.

Ballots had been mailed (like they will be today).

Polls showed an extremely tight race here in southwest Oregon, one of the most closely-divided districts in the nation.

And we were being vastly outspent by Alek and his far-right donors.

I'll let you in on a secret, John. Every election, Republican operatives think they have a chance here in Oregon. These same operatives are dumping millions into Oregon this year chasing races up and down the ballot. And we win every time.

Why?

Because Oregon Democrats rally in October. We work harder than any other group in the country to win.

So it's that time, John. If you haven't already, or if you've been all along, I need you to chip in $8 now and join me and turbo-charging Val Hoyle across the finish line.

DONATE $8 NOW

John, this election is one of the most consequential elections in our lifetimes. A Republican Congress will subject the entire country to their extremist MAGA agenda. They're openly campaigning to ban abortion nationwide, privatize Social Security and Medicare, roll back workers' rights – and to dismantle the democratic norms that would stand in their way.

Alek Skarlatos is an enthusiastic supporter of all these extreme MAGA policies. And although he's spending this election pretending he's a moderate, we all know how much of a diehard Trump supporter Alek is.

We're dangerously close to electing a MAGA extremist. It's time for all of us to show up and kick Alek Skarlatos off the ballot for good. Chip in now, and let's show Alek Skarlatos that his MAGA values are wrong for Oregon.
