John,

We all know we need to defend the House majority – but let’s be honest, some races are tighter than others. Right now, my friend and colleague, Rep. Melanie Stansbury’s race is getting tighter as we approach Election Day.

Today, I’m asking you to support Melanie’s campaign because I know we need her leadership in Congress. I know I don’t need to explain to you why we need to hold our Democratic majority.

But with Rep. Melanie Stansbury, we can protect a critical blue seat AND support a committed progressive who’s shown she will always fight for the people.

With just days until the midterm elections, this is a critical time for competitive races. I’m hoping you’ll join me and support Melanie today – will you make a difference in her race with a donation?

There are three very important reasons why I’m supporting Rep. Stansbury, and you should too:

1. Melanie is a proven progressive champion and former scientist who will continue to defend reproductive rights, support Medicare for All, and fight for climate and environmental justice.
    
2. Melanie’s opponent is a cookie-cutter MAGA Republican who will advance the GOP’s extreme anti-abortion agenda and prioritize loyalty to Trump.
    
3. As a freshman in the House, Republicans see Melanie as particularly vulnerable, and they’ve identified her seat as a top target in the midterms.

Melanie is running out of time to raise the resources she’ll need to win over her MAGA opponent. It’s all hands on deck right now – so can we count on your contribution today?
