I made a tough decision this morning, and as a member of our grassroots team, you deserve to know why.

Yesterday, my campaign team came to me with an urgent request. We needed to expand our digital outreach — fast.

Why? Because my Democratic opponent — who’s being funded by corporate PACs, a Project 2025 author, Trump advisors, and even an executive tied to ICE — is using his special interest money to outspend us on TV and digital. And with our final quarterly FEC deadline approaching before the primary, we cannot afford to show any signs of weakness.

My team walked me through a response plan and recommended expanding our digital outreach to help us grow our base, reach new supporters, and raise the resources we need to compete with his cash. But there was one problem: The money wasn’t in our budget.

So I spent a some time thinking it over. And this morning, I gave them the green light.

It was a risk — but one I’m willing to take, because we can’t afford to fall behind when so much is on the line.

But most importantly, I said yes because I believe in the power of this team, and I believe in you. If we’re going to take a people-powered campaign that’s rooted in real connection to the finish line, we can’t play it safe.

So right now, I’m betting on this grassroots team to help us close the gap and make this investment worth it. So on the heels of this difficult budget decision, I am asking:

Can you chip in $3, $25, or whatever you can today to help us cover this cost and keep building the momentum we need? Every dollar we raise from here on out will help determine if we will win this race in March.

Thank you for standing with me.
