The final FEC deadline of 2025 is this Wednesday, December 31, 2025. Will you chip in any amount to support Dr. Raul Ruiz’s campaign to flip the House blue?

I know it sometimes feels like we’re fighting the Trump administration on so many fronts that we can’t possibly keep track. But there are three major fights that I’m focused on right now:

1. Securing accessible, affordable healthcare for every family in my district and across the country.
2. Defending our veterans and ensuring they receive the support and care they’ve earned.
3. Holding Trump and his corrupt cronies like RFK, Jr. accountable for the lies they spread and the damage they cause.

I’m determined to keep up those fights in Congress.

But there’s no sugarcoating it: this race is going to be a dogfight. Here are three reasons I’m still concerned:

1. Trump gained 13 points in CA-25 between 2020 and 2024 — and if Republicans flip this seat, it’ll be a big step backward in our push to take back the House in 2026.
2. Three counties in our district flipped red in 2024, and Democrats are particularly losing ground in the Inland Empire.
3. Turnout in CA-25 was alarmingly low in our special election to pass Prop 50.

We urgently need to reverse these trends if we’re going to keep our district blue and play our part in flipping the House next year. That starts with Wednesday’s FEC deadline.

Our race is one of the most closely watched in the country, so I can’t afford to show any vulnerability in the grassroots numbers we’ll publish after December 31st. That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $10 immediately so we reach our $25,000 goal.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, but I’m grateful to have you on my team.

Thank you,

Raul
