John, it’s Valerie Foushee.

I hope I caught you before you log off for the evening. 

Tomorrow marks one month since Republicans shut down the government, and it’s been one month of uncertainty, hardship, and frustration for millions of Americans.

Families are struggling to make ends meet, federal workers are missing paychecks, and small businesses that rely on government contracts are hanging by a thread. Meanwhile, Republicans are busy pointing fingers instead of finding solutions. 

I won’t stand by while people are suffering. I came to Congress to deliver for working families, not to play political games. Enough is enough. 

If we’re going to lead the way to a new House majority, we have to hit every single fundraising goal through 2026. That includes tonight’s end-of-month deadline, and as of right now, we’re coming up short.

Can I personally ask you to pitch in today? We have to put a stop to this chaos and nonsense. Here’s the best link to give if you’re able to: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/sbd-vf-em-fr-october25?source=OctoberEOM

Whether you’re able to give today or not, thanks for being in this fight with me. We’re in this together.
