Can you chip in $5?

Elaine for Congress     John -- I’m about to ask you to chip in $5 because this is what we’re up against: → Outside, national Republican groups spent more than $500,000 on attack ads in our district last year, and we know they’re prepared to spend an unprecedented amount this year…
