Hey friend — We just had our senior staff meeting at headquarters, and I’ll be honest, I walked away a little concerned. Here’s why:

• FiveThirtyEight’s model has downgraded the outlook of Democrats winning the House across the country (making this race much, much more important);

• We were counting on October being a BIG online fundraising month to help us fight back, but we fell $1,040 short of our goal.

Listen, friend, this isn’t my first campaign (or Brittany’s), and nobody here is panicking. Every race has ups and downs. But we’re also realistic — when you’re facing both tightening polls AND a fundraising slip, you have to step up your game. It’s as simple as that.

Friend, this is a critical moment for your support, so I am urgently asking you to rush a $20 contribution today and help us power Brittany to victory over her far-right, anti-choice opponent →

I promise you that Team Pettersen is going to work harder than ever to win this race and protect our Democratic House majority. We know how much is on the line, from the right to choose to the integrity of our democracy.

That’s why we’re counting on this grassroots team. We’ve had incredible momentum over the last few months, and we can’t let it falter now. Here is a link to pitch in today: secure.actblue.com/donate/pettersen-november-email

Thank you so much,
