Hey team, it's Ilhan.

I'll be direct — can I count on you to make your first $5 contribution to our re-election campaign for Congress?

Here's the situation:

In just 2 days, we're facing the first end-of-month fundraising deadline of the campaign cycle, and our team has some important goals to hit before it ends.

Last year, our movement overcame millions of dollars in attacks from right-wing dark money groups, and re-elected me to serve my third term representing the people of Minnesota's 5th district.

Like all my campaigns, it was the small-dollar, grassroots support of people like you that made it possible.

The simple truth is that going toe to toe with the wealthy and powerful in this country takes a LOT of resources. So long as I'm advocating for working people in Congress, they'll be there, doing and spending whatever it takes to defeat us.

If we're going to win again — against the endless attacks, the threats, and the millions of dollars in campaign spending — it's critical that we start this campaign strong. That's why I'm asking:

Will you make a contribution — of $5 or anything you can — before Tuesday's deadline? The only way we fund this campaign is together.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

I know the next election seems like a long way away, but every donation early in the cycle makes a huge difference.

Thanks for everything,

Ilhan Omar
