John, I understand

I know what it’s like...       Ted Lieu asked. Adam Schiff asked. I asked. And I hate to ask again, but I don't come from money. My parents taught me to work hard for every dollar you earn. They also taught me that there’s no shame in asking for help when you need it. …

Please John, read my message.       John, I'll be quick: I’m asking you to pitch in $14 before the critical End of Quarter Deadline to elect Tony Vargas, flip this seat for Democrats, and protect our hard-fought House Majority. Can I count on you at this pivotal moment? …

John, my narrow lead is on the line.

      John, I’ll be blunt: I don’t like asking for money. I hate that to defeat one of the most vulnerable House Republicans anywhere in the country, it will take an exorbitant amount of money. I hate that I have to ask for money as we mourn the Supreme Court’s horrendou…
