John,
In a moment, we’re going to ask for a $5 contribution to fund our effort to unseat Ken Calvert. Recent developments have put our campaign in its strongest position yet, so we hope you’ll let us explain why your support is so important -- especially now:
The numbers are on our side.
After redistricting, for the first time in our district’s history, registered Democrats now outnumber registered Republicans. California’s 41st Congressional District is no longer a reliable GOP stronghold.
A third-party poll conducted of our race found that we are in a virtual dead heat with Ken Calvert. Right now, Will stands at 42% with Calvert at 41%. Roughly 17% are undecided. What's even more encouraging is that we lead by 6-points among voters listed as having no-party preference.
According to a study covered on MSNBC, voters in our district back our campaign over Calvert’s by a 2-point margin. But that’s only if we have a well-funded communications effort. It’s up to us to shift donor attention to winnable competitive races like ours.
Early vote data shows ballots returned from Democratic voters have significantly outpaced Republicans in CA-41. Democrats currently hold a double-digit lead -- one of the largest margins in the state of California.
Calvert is one of California’s most vulnerable Republican members of Congress. We can beat him, but we need your help to do it. Chip in $5 today to spread Will’s message and put an end to his 30-year tenure >>
