John,

We need to level with you: Everything is on the line.

Donald Trump and Texas Republicans have launched an unprecedented scheme to rig next year’s elections before they even begin. Their goal is simple: steal enough seats to seize Congress regardless of what voters decide.

But California Strong Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom dared to fight back. We’re now their biggest obstacle. And that’s why they’re flooding our state with lies and dark money to try to defeat Proposition 50 — our firewall against Trump’s election rigging scheme.

And right now, our budget is running dangerously low. Unless we raise $10,000 before midnight, we won’t be able to expand our canvassing plans or scale our literature distribution, which will leave undecided voters without the facts they need to vote YES on Prop 50. Will you rush a donation right now?

Here’s the truth:

➡️ If Prop 50 fails, Trump’s allies will be in prime position to keep total control of Washington D.C. for two more years.

➡️ If Prop 50 passes, California voters (not MAGA politicians!) will get to decide which party controls the U.S. House.

This is the mission. There is no do-over.

Understand what this means, John:

Every door we can’t knock is another voter who might only see Trump’s dark money ads.

Every turf we don’t expand is another neighborhood left vulnerable to Republican misinformation.

Every dollar we don’t raise tonight makes Trump’s scheme more likely to succeed.

This is not politics as usual. This is an emergency for our democracy.

Donald Trump is betting that California Democrats will falter. That we won’t rise to the challenge. That we’ll let his lies drown out the truth. Let’s prove him wrong. Will you rush a donation right now?

Thank you,

- The entire team at the California Democratic Party
