Combatting Mike Garcia's far-right extremism and billionaire donors

Christy Smith for Congress         John, We're going to get straight to the point: our ActBlue numbers aren't where we need them ahead of our FEC end-of-quarter deadline, especially with the devastating news of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. It is more important than eve…

Mike Garcia wants to send us back

Christy Smith for Congress         Hi John, Friday's SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v. Wade is devastating. It puts millions of lives at risk, and imposes untold suffering, particularly among poor and Black and Brown people. But on Friday, Mike Garcia was cheering. For him…

It's not just an abortion restriction. It's an attack on our bodily autonomy.

Christy Smith for Congress         Hi John, I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not. The Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, and with it went any national protections securing our right to abortion. I'm angry. Really angry. And seeing anti-choice Re…

Midnight tonight

Christy Smith for Congress         John, I want to tell you why Mike Garcia is so bad for this district. But first, I have an important question: Will you chip in $5 or more before our midnight deadline to make sure we hit our mid-month fundraising goal? If you've saved yo…

Christy Smith for Congress         John, Tomorrow is our mid-month fundraising deadline and right now we're still $4,826 short of our $27,000 goal. We're not going to pretend that the sky is falling and go full panic mode, but missing our first post-primary goal isn't a g…

Christy Smith for Congress         John, when we say every vote matters, we mean it. In 2020, Mike Garcia only beat Christy by only 333 votes. If every single person reading this email had turned out and voted, Chisty would have won. CA-27 is one of the most flippable dis…
