One of the last House races still TOO CLOSE TO CALL

Christy Smith for Congress     John, The founding principle of our democracy is that it is by and for the people. The people choose their government, and their government serves the people -- not special interest groups or partisan priorities. And here in CA-25, the people's right to decide…

We still have a far-right politician with a dangerous agenda to unseat.

Christy Smith for Congress     Hi John, It's been a couple days now, and I'm still so excited -- and so relieved -- at the results of the presidential election. We proved that people are more powerful than any politician and that a dangerous, far-right agenda is not the way forward for our …

The very last email

Christy Smith for Congress     Hey John, Do you ever think about what you might tell your past self -- the self from before November 8th, 2016 -- if you had the chance? Do you know what you'd say? I sure do. I would tell the old Christy that these four years have been harder than we imag…

It'll probably come down to a handful of votes

Christy Smith for Congress     This race is not a sure thing for Democrats. In our last poll, we were only two points ahead of Mike Garcia, which is well within the margin of error. No exaggeration, John: Our election could be determined by a handful of votes -- FiveThirtyEight calls it one…

Are you in this fight to the end, John?

Christy Smith for Congress     We have less than 59 hours to bring this thing home and flip CA-25 back to blue, John. Now, that's not a lot of time. But we'll be using every possible minute of it to keep talking to voters to check that they've got a plan to return their ballot -- because w…

Asking personally

Christy Smith for Congress     John, I won't kid you, or myself. This race is not a sure win for Democrats. It's anything but. When we flipped CA-25 blue for the first time in 25 years, that was a big deal. A major achievement. But now we have to do it again -- and even with our two-point l…
