Hey John --

As Gil’s Finance Director, part of my job is to create and implement monthly and quarterly finance plans that ensure we’re on track to fulfill each of our campaign objectives. And the math shows that when more people are apprised of how competitive and important this race is, we’re able to raise more grassroots money online to subsidize our TV and digital ads, expand our mail program, and call and text more voters.

That’s why it was a big deal when Senator Tammy Duckworth wrote to you personally earlier this week: She knows what’s at stake in this race, and she knows that her weighing in on the race will have an outsized impact where it matters most.

So I hope that you’ll read her note, John (forwarded below). Then I hope you’ll donate to our campaign using this link for our top supporters: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gcc_q32020?refcode=em_fr_2020.08.30_b2_jt2_all

Thank you,

-- Josh Lorah

John, this is Senator Tammy Duckworth.

I’ll get straight to it: My colleague and fellow veteran Congressman Gil Cisneros needs our help.

With just 37 days until early voting starts in California, there isn’t a moment to waste on the campaign trail -- and his campaign needs all the help it can get to pull ahead in what’s shaping up to be one of the closest races in the country.

I’ll explain more below why your donation is so important -- but first, I hope you’ll rush a contribution to Gil’s campaign. Even $5 can make a difference in a race as competitive as this one.

John, if Gil made anything clear during his first term in Congress, it’s that he and I are committed to the same fight on behalf of hard-working Americans.

John, as a Veteran, Gil uniquely understands what it means to take bold action in pursuit of justice for all. That’s why it’s incumbent upon us all to commit ourselves to defending his seat and ensuring that he can continue to work hard for us all after November.

The hard truth is that Republicans are already targeting California’s 39th -- and with new polling showing a neck-and-neck race, this race is going to come down to the margins: the extra budget for more digital advertising, the additional printed mailers, the final phone call that closes out an evening phone bank.

But Gil isn’t taking a dime of corporate PAC money so the ability to execute each of those measures depends on grassroots donations from people like you.

John, I hope you’ll join me in fortifying Gil’s campaign and ensuring that his team is able to wage a strong fight every single day from now until November.
