Grateful

Shoulder to shoulder, we will fight through the crises that we're facing and create a better "normal" together. John, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a member of this team. Together, we're going to grow the strongest movement possible to keep this district blue, defend …

This next public report is our chance to show that our grassroots movement is strong, and we're not backing down.

Earlier this quarter, a Republican Super PAC announced their plans to spend millions of dollars on this race and defeat Katie... John, our FEC deadline is just hours away. After midnight, all eyes will be on our fundraising report from this past quarter to see how much support Katie received. Ea…

My promise to you:

I'm so thankful for everything you do that allows me to serve my community. But in order to continue... John, today is the final day of the quarter, which means it's the last chance to hit our big fundraising goal. I want to ask if you're able to pitch in to help reach it (we're so close!). Bu…

We'll want to look back on Election Day and know we did everything we could to protect Katie's seat

This district is one of the most Republican districts held by a Democrat in the country. The only way our campaign can stay competitive is through your grassroots contributions. John, we’ll be straightforward: if we are unable to meet our fundraising goal by tomorrow’s FEC deadline, our campaign…

I wouldn't ask if it weren't incredibly important:

I know that every time I ask the tough questions and demand accountability, the Republicans' efforts to unseat me redouble. John, I'd be grateful if you could make a donation to my re-election campaign today. Here's why I'm asking, and why your support is so important: Our next FEC deadline is…

We missed our 822 target yesterday

We need to make up some ground today to get back on track before Tuesday's FEC deadline. Hi John, sending you a quick update: Yesterday, our team calculated that we needed 822 email donations to hit our daily fundraising target, but we missed the mark. That means we need to make up some ground…

Falling short

We're getting closer to reaching our most important goal yet, but we still need your help to get there. John, we only have five days left to hit our most important fundraising goal yet, and right now it’s looking like it’s going to be close. Inspired by Katie and her whiteboard, our team did …

There's about five months left in this race, and this is our most critical goal yet. John, I’ll cut right to the chase: We’re only seven days away from our next fundraising deadline, and whether or not we hit our end-of-quarter goal before it will set the momentum for our campaign moving forwa…

What's up with PPP? Katie is on it.

Trump and his special interest allies are trying to unseat Katie this year, because they know she won't back down. John, what do you know about the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)? It’s okay if your answer is “Not too much,” because you’re in good company. The PPP is a $650 billion taxpayer…

John, what we do now is crucial

As our right-wing opponent gears up for a fight, we need to make sure we have the resources to stay competitive. John, although Election Day feels far away, NOW is the time to be laying the groundwork for Katie’s victory in November. We’ve got a tough race ahead, and our fundraising performan…

John, our race is on a list of targets >>

Headline: "Orange County Republicans host virtual 'Take Back the House' rally" John, simply put: we can't leave anything in our race for re-election up to chance. Since our historic victory in 2018, Katie has fought hard on behalf of working families while in Congress—she’s asked the tough que…

Three reasons:

We'll be quick:

Hi John — we’ll keep this short. We know that making a political contribution may be far from your top priorities right now, and we absolutely understand. But the reality is that we have an important end-of-quarter fundraising deadline at the end of the month, and if we don’t catch up to our …

It's clear: We need leaders who aren't afraid to speak truth to power

John, one way to take action today

John — Our entire country is hurting following the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many others at the hands of the police. I join you in feeling this pain. Police brutality has led to far too many deaths in our country, particularly of people of color, and far too little justic…

We'll just say it

Alright, we'll get straight to the point,John. We have less than 24 hours before our fundraising deadline and we need your help.  As a grassroots campaign, we can't afford to take anything for granted. We don't rely on special interests or dark money PACs to keep our movement going, we rely …

Keep the OC BLUE!

Our goal is simple, John: Keep Orange County blue and defend our House majority. But in order to do just that, we need to meet a critical fundraising goal by Sunday evening. We have just two more days to meet our goal, and we're counting on our grassroots network to do it. Can we count on…

Three more days
