Hi John -
I have alarming news: Our race was just downgraded by the Cook Political Report because Republicans could have a real shot at flipping this seat red.
After Kevin McCarthy hosted a big fundraiser for my new GOP opponent last week, I’m going to need every single Democrat who sees this to step up and help us fight back to keep this seat.
Can I count on you to please rush in the biggest donation you can today? We have to fight back now to keep this from becoming a true toss-up.
If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your payment will go through immediately:
This rating change comes after my new opponent - the Republican mayor of Stockton, the biggest city in my district - announced he is running for my seat, with the full support of the Speaker of the House.
Kevin McCarthy knows he can’t keep his grip on Speaker’s gavel without winning seats like mine. So he’s going all-in to flip this seat by handpicking an opponent to run against me and personally working to shower his campaign with lots of cash to get him started.
That’s why I need every single person to chip in as much as you can right now! Our race is trending in the wrong direction and I need your help to fight back.
