John –

Did you see my team's message from the other day?

Since they promised to attack me, Kevin McCarthy and the NRCC have been able to raise huge piles of cash from wealthy donors and shady PACs who want to flip this seat.

Make no mistake: we're already in a tough fight. They've been putting out lies about my record to try to muddy the waters for weeks.

We don't rely on wealthy meagadonors and extremists; our campaign is powered by working families and grassroots supporters like you.

We're just 2 days from our end-of-quarter deadline, and heading in to a demanding spring. Please chip in now to keep up the fight.

Building a campaign to get the truth out won't be easy, but I'm not one to back down from a challenge - and I don't think you are either.

See my message below to learn more about what we're up against and why your donation today matters so much.

In solidarity,

Val

Hi John,

Earlier this month, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) named Val one of their "House Democrat targets" for 2024. That's a big deal, and according to most fundraising consultants, we should drive that home by asking for a contribution right here in paragraph one.

We'll get to that. Instead, we want to make sure everyone knows why the NRCC's announcement is particularly dangerous to a movement like ours:

Because of differences in campaign finance law, wealthy funders can cut huge checks to the NRCC (one person can give more than $40,000 per year) to attack Val. That's more than ten times what our campaign can accept from a grassroots supporter like you.

That means not only that the NRCC can spend tons of cash attacking Val with deceptive ads and dishonest mailers, but that our campaign has to work ten times as hard to get the truth out there.

So, when they announce that they're targeting Val, we have to step up our fundraising and organizing efforts big time, John. That's why we've set big goals for our grassroots fundraising this quarter – because our campaign has always been powered by supporters like you, and we're in for a heck of a fight.

Can you contribute $3 before our Friday deadline to give us the resources to stand up to the NRCC's big-dollar bullying?

We know we can counter the NRCC's massive spending with grassroots support, John; we've done it before. Let's stand together and show the NRCC the strength of this movement.

Team Hoyle
