Friend,

I have to be honest, it's hard asking for your support at a time like this.

The election for Governor of California takes place in 2026. Meanwhile, we're five months from the most consequential presidential election in my lifetime – and the Republican nominee is a convicted felon openly campaigning on an authoritarian platform.

It's not lost on me how critical November will be. That's why I'm doing everything in my power to re-elect President Biden, and I'm laser-focused on winning key California races that will likely decide the House majority.

I've spent my entire career serving California and its people, and the fact is we have a host of legitimate crises that need to be addressed, and quickly.

Between housing insecurity, the skyrocketing cost of insurance, the growing effects of climate change, and more exacerbating the affordability crisis -- our state is at a crossroads, and whether or not we meet these challenges will have a ripple effect that will last for decades to come. That’s why I’ve stepped up now instead of waiting.

Most don’t know this, but June 30 marks an important fundraising deadline in the race for California Governor. It's the first time candidates are required to make fundraising totals public.

Whether we like it or not, pundits will define this race by these early numbers, and by extension, the future of our state. So I have to ask:

With this deadline looming, I'm hoping you can add a $3 donation before midnight. Please know that I would not ask if it wasn’t important.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Donate $10 Donate $35

Donate $50 Donate $100

Donate $250 Another Amount

Thank you for everything,

- Betty
