Dear Friend,

Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Stephen Miller, and Kevin McCarthy. Those
are just some of the far-right figures who have come out of Southern
California.

We all hoped that we’d buried Southern California’s dark Republican past
in 2018, when Katie Porter led progressives in taking every seat in Orange
County.

But, Friend, recent polling suggests that Southern California
Republicanism is alive and well -- and this time it’s Trumpier than ever.
Now we’re not only at risk of losing Porter’s seat, but the 45th and 49th
districts as well.

[ [link removed] ]We have just a few days to make sure Katie Porter doesn't lose. Unlike
the DCCC, we are focusing on Orange County, and we need your help. Will
you chip in?

The Cook Political Report has given Katie Porter a razor-thin three-point
lead over Scott Baugh, a former O.C. assemblymember who wants to ban
same-sex marriage, force people to give birth, and defund social security.

And since 2020, Trump-endorsed Republicans have already won back two of
the O.C.’s seven congressional seats.(1)

If we lose Katie Porter, Democrats will lose their House majority. We
cannot let that happen.

That's why Courage California has invested in sophisticated polling
methods to develop the precise messages that will maximize turnout in Rep.
Porter’s and other key multicultural districts. Now we just need to get
the message out.

[ [link removed] ]Courage member, can we count on you to chip in $5 and
help power our effort to ensure that 8 days from now, Katie Porter and
other critical California Democrats triumph over Trumpists?

There are more swing House districts here in California than anywhere else
in the country.(2) This means that maximizing Democratic wins here is
essential to offset any potential losses in battleground states like
Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina.

If we can’t hold the line here in California, America loses any hope of
codifying abortion and same-sex marriage rights, passing the Dream Act, or
taking federal action against climate change.

That’s why we are urgently writing to you today with an important
question.

[ [link removed] ]Will you donate $5 today to help ensure that 8 days from
now, Californians do not elect Trumpists over Katie Porter and
other critical California Democrats?

Yours in the fight for a progressive future,

Irene, along with Angela, Annie, Isidra, Jay, Lindsay, Mai, Mai, Raquel,
and Scottie (and the rest of the Courage PAC team)
