John,

The energy we feel in every campaign stop Betty makes is clear: We have a real chance of winning, but we can't take anything for granted – not right now.

Allow us to explain exactly why your support is so critical at this juncture:

We’re nearing our final major reporting deadline before the election year. Once we ring in the new year, supporters and opponents alike will comb over our fundraising report to see how much support we have.

We’re up against a lot of competition. What happens to close out this year will chart the course for California's future. This race could swing either way in the final months before our primary – and the more grassroots support we can muster to get every last voter engaged, the better our chances of victory.

The last governor’s race in California saw tens of millions of dollars spent. All eyes will be on our race come January, and we need all hands on deck.

We rely on small-dollar donations from supporters like you to help us keep pace – and send a message that we have what it takes to be successful.

So John, can we count on you to chip in? Your $3 support would go a long way – especially now.

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

Thank you,

Betty Yee HQ
