Democrats fundraising edge "evaporates"

  John, I wanted to make sure you saw the news about our self-funding, Republican opponent. This is a bit concerning. Last quarter we raised over $500,000 thanks to individual and grassroots donors. But in the same period, my opponent dumped $500,000 from his own personal fortune in…

Our self-funding opponent.

With all their anti-vax enabling, pandemic denialism, and outright attacks on our democracy, I shudder just thinking about what would happen if Republicans   CA GOP Chair: "Republicans are ready to win in 2022. Replacing Mike Levin is a priority” My race is heating up, John. FIRST: W…

OC oil spill: Keeping you up to date

  John, It's been 10 days since the oil spill off the coast of Huntington Beach. We're continuing our work getting to the bottom of what happened and preventing spills like these from ever occurring again. Here are some updates: • The House Natural Resources Committee is currently pr…

Update on the Orange County oil spill

  John, I wanted to check in with a quick update on our work to address the horrific oil spill in Orange County, and the steps being taken to prevent spills like these from happening again. • Yesterday, I joined with local elected officials, environmental scientists, and business lea…

Action Needed: Orange County oil spill

  John, I want to extend my gratitude for your contributions ahead of last week’s end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. It was close, but with your support we were able to meet our goal in the final hours. Hitting this mark, and keeping our campaign fully funded, would not have been p…

I won't sugar coat it.

  John, I know my team and I have been in touch a lot this week. Sorry to bombard you, but we're facing a number of new challenges this year that make tonight's end-of-quarter fundraising deadline more critical than usual. For starters, history tells us that the party in power is at…

Here's where things stand >>

Report: CA GOP is targeting Mike.

  John, Our September FEC fundraising deadline hits tomorrow night at 11:59 PM. This deadline has taken on a new meaning in the last couple weeks. For starters, it’s our first FEC report since we found out that Mike now has TWO Republican opponents campaigning against him. We also …

I shudder to think.

  I'll get straight to the point, John. We cannot afford to lose any momentum in CA-49. That’s why I’m personally asking you to make a contribution of $3 to Mike before his FEC deadline hits. Could you do that right now? Every day, Democrats in Congress work tirelessly for the Amer…

The GOP is still challenging the 2020 election results.

  John, I'm reaching out to ask you to make a contribution to my campaign before my public FEC filing deadline. I hope you'll give me a moment to explain why this request is so crucial. Between the hard-fought recall election, budget negotiations, and the debate around reconciliatio…

Mike Levin

John, Defeating Donald Trump last year wasn’t the end of our work. It was just the beginning. We've been working overtime in Congress delivering COVID-19 relief for the American people and fighting to pass meaningful legislation. Meanwhile, the GOP has picked up where their leader end…

More hypocrisy from McConnell

I'm asking

  Hi John, In just a moment, I’m going to ask you to support Mike Levin in CA-49. I hope you will allow me a chance to explain why your contribution will go a long way. In 2020, Americans voted in record numbers to send Joe Biden to the White House and elect Democratic majorities in…

re: the recall in California

2 things you can do to stop the Texas abortion ban

  John, By now you've heard the news that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block Texas' six-week abortion ban. Texas is now home to the most extreme anti-abortion law in the country -- outlawing it before roughly 90% of abortions take place. It's effectively a near total ban. As te…

Not the news I wanted to deliver today, but it's the truth.   Hi John! Nate here, Mike's Finance Director. Before I ask you to chip in $3, here's an update on our end-of-month fundraising efforts: Based on our report this morning, fundraising has actually trended down over the past co…

Something we don't usually talk about.

  John, This is not something we highlight often, because we don't like to give them any oxygen. But there are two Republicans officially running against Mike in CA-49. Both are trying to denigrate our progress with smears and attacks. Here's how one of them is campaigning against u…

Delivering for the American people

The greatest existential threat of our time: climate change.   John -- In a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a $3 contribution toward our end-of-month goal. Our fundraising has slowed a bit this month, which is normal for August. But I want to explain why I need your help picking …

concerning

  John, I want to take a moment and give you a few updates directly from campaign HQ. Some of them are a little concerning, but it's important to me that you're kept in the loop: • I have not one, but two Republican opponents who have gone on the attack against me. One is a self-fund…

Fire. Louis. DeJoy.

The IPCC report.

re: the Child Tax Credit.
