Hi JOHN, my name is Gabby Giffords. I'm a former congresswoman, and 11 years ago, my life was changed forever when I survived a mass shooting at a constituent event in my hometown.

I decided to turn my pain into purpose by becoming a national gun safety advocate, and I've never looked back. But today, I'm not writing to talk about myself. I'm here to tell you about my ally, Eric Lynn.

Eric helped make history when he became one of the first 40 staffers to join President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008. He served at the Pentagon as a Senior Advisor to Secretaries of Defense from both parties, and has committed himself to our security both at home and abroad.

We need Eric's leadership and commitment to service in Washington. But with his MAGA extremist opponent Anna Luna raising millions thanks to Trump and GOP megadonors, he can't win this fight without grassroots support. That's why I'm personally asking, JOHN: Will you contribute $25 or more now to help Eric win in Florida, protect our majority in the House, and build a secure country that works for all of us?

I can’t emphasize this enough: With a slim majority in the house, Democrats are holding on by a single thread. Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and all of their GOP allies are flooding Florida to defeat Eric and retake House control. Polling shows Eric in a dead heat with his extremist opponent at 47/47.

Everything we care about – from abortion rights to gun safety – is on the line in this race. Eric's campaign is 100% people-powered, so he's relying on your support today to help him fight back, pull ahead, and win.

I told Eric I'd help him raise $5,000 before his fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, so I'm counting on you to give whatever you can: JOHN, will you chip in $5 – or even $10 – right now so Eric can win in Florida and defend our House majority?
