I am venting…

Hi John B, It’s been a few days since the Supreme Court’s ruling, and I am still absolutely furious about it. The Court just handed billionaires and special interests even more power to buy our elections. That means more dark money, more attack ads, and even less of a voice for everyday Americans.…

(no subject)

Hey John B, This is my final ask before tonight’s critical FEC deadline at 12 ET/9 PT. We’re still $3,295 short with only 5 hours left to close the gap. If we miss this goal, we won’t have the resources to launch our ads, hire organizers, or fight back against the attacks already pouring in. F…

Morning thoughts... 💭

Good morning, John B! I just woke up, had a cup of coffee, and wanted to send you a quick email before my daughters wake up and the day gets going. Here’s what’s on my mind this morning: Tonight is our end-of-quarter deadline and this is a big deal for our campaign because our report will be going…

👋

Hi John B, it’s Josh. There’s a lot on my shoulders right now (and I’m not talking about my daughters, Lillian and Karina!) That’s because tomorrow is our next end-of-quarter fundraising deadline, and we are still $7,500 short of our goal. There is only one day left: So, will you please rus…

The balance of power

John B, Today we’re asking you for a donation to support our grassroots campaign in California’s 9th district before our end-of-quarter deadline on Tuesday. [[link removed]] Because here’s what’s at stake: Democrats only need to flip three seats to take back the Speaker’s gavel: [link re…

Major decision

John B, I have a major decision to make before the end-of-quarter deadline. With the election coming up, I need to decide when we can afford to launch our ads and hire organizers to start reaching voters. This is what it will take to keep California’s 9th district blue and take back the House this…

Lengua quesadillas + campaign strategy

Hi John B, I just wrapped an important campaign strategy meeting over some delicious lengua quesadillas at one of my favorite taco spots. 🌮 We mapped out our game plan to register voters, combat GOP attacks, and fight misinformation. Our plan requires early investment so we can build a strong …

The most corrupt President ever

John B, I’ll say it: Donald Trump is the most corrupt President we’ve ever had. That’s why I have introduced the “No Bribes for Politicians Act,” which will make it illegal for him or any politician to profit off their office. Will you add your name to my petition if you support this bill? [[link …

Four years later, I’m still angry

John B, Four years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I still remember the sheer anger I felt when the ruling came down - and honestly, I’m getting angry again just thinking about it right now. I am heartbroken for the women in 13 states facing total abortion bans with virtually…

Sending a quick note your way

Hey team, The end-of-quarter deadline is just one week away and we are still falling $20k+ short of our goal. I refuse to take corporate PAC money, so we need a big surge of grassroots support to reach our goal to defend CA-09. Can I count on you to pitch in any amount to my campaign tod…

TOSS UP

Hey John B, it's Sherrod Brown. I'm coming to you with an exclusive campaign update. Sabato's Crystal Ball – one of the most accurate and widely trusted election experts – just shifted our race to “TOSS-UP.” This is one of the riskiest moments of our campaign because it's a magnet for Republican m…

Hey John B, I’m forwarding this note from my Finance Director because it’s urgent. I’m concerned that we’re still falling short of our General Election goal, and we have a strict deadline to catch up by midnight tonight. If just 750 people chip in $5 right now, we’ll be right back on track. …

California’s Central Valley is key

Hi John B, California is often thought of as a reliably “blue state.” But I represent a district in California’s Central Valley - one of the most competitive areas in the country, where Donald Trump and Republicans have made real inroads over the last several election cycles. We have one of the l…

A safe bet?

John B, Are you willing to bet this email is shorter than 10 sentences? (Hint: it’s not.) What about the odds that I run for President in 2028? Or how about the chances that I introduce a new bill to ban federal officials and members of Congress from using prediction markets like Kalshi or Polyma…

Who is John McBride?

John B, Who is our Republican opponent in CA-09 this year? His name is John McBride, and he is a right-wing MAGA extremist who was hand-picked by Donald Trump and the GOP to flip this seat. He is an anti-abortion extremist who aligns himself with Trump’s “America First” movement and some of the m…

$20,000 problem

Hi John B, I just got out of a meeting with my campaign team, and I’m going to be straight with you — we’ve got a $20,000 problem. Donald Trump and his MAGA allies just launched a new wave of attacks against me in California’s 9th district. We know these lies can do real damage if we don’t respond…

I want to hear from you

John B, With all the chaos happening right now in Washington, it feels like we’re jumping from emergency to emergency (almost all of which are self-inflicted, I might add). As I work to fight back, I wanted to make sure we’re checking with real people like you to make sure we’re focusing on th…

This is a big decision

Hey John, it’s Josh. I have a critical decision to make before our end-of-month deadline. The question is: How much budget can we put toward our Election Day ads? My team is requesting $10,000. At first, I hesitated to greenlight such a big amount. But now that the California GOP has offici…

Rigged maps and voter suppression
