John, it’s Katie. I want to start by saying thank you.

It means a lot that you’re reading this message, especially on the weekend. 

I wish it didn't work this way, but running in a toss-up race like this one — where National Republicans will spend millions of dollars against me  — means that I need to reach out and ask for donations more than I'd like to.

And when I ask for you to donate your hard-earned dollars to this campaign, I don't take it lightly.

Before I was Governor, I put myself through college and graduate school. Even after I was elected to public office, I had a second job as an Uber driver to pay the bills.

I understand firsthand the value of every dollar and the dignity of hard work, so I'm especially humbled and inspired every time grassroots supporters like you chip in to help me deliver real results and tangible progress. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

If you can, will you consider chipping in $10 to my campaign today? We’ve got a long road ahead, and it’s going to take everyone to win this toss-up race and defend our values.

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

Thank you, John.
