Young voters chose Massie by 30 points. Here’s why that matters.
Cutting to the chase
You’re a critical part of this team. That’s why I wanted to personally give you an update on the state of our playing field.
Here’s a real time update on where things are at:
Most people don’t know this, but Maryland law requires public officials like me to stop fundraising while the legislature is in session.
For months, I’ve been focused solely on winning results for Marylanders including:
- Protecting our immigrant community,
- Investing in public safety,
- Lowering Marylanders' energy bills,
- Increasing our housing supply,
- And more.
But we didn’t raise a single dollar. We’ve had to wait. You know who hasn’t? Republicans. While we were hard at work, they were raising money nonstop from Donald Trump’s donors.
And now, they’re about to flood Maryland with dark money.
This seat has flipped parties between every governor for the last twenty years. I flipped it from a Republican — and now Donald Trump’s allies want to flip it right back. It’s why Maryland is one of Republicans’ top targets in 2026.
I say, the pattern stops with me. I refuse to let this seat turn red. We need strong Democrats who aren’t afraid to fight back against Trump in state leadership positions, now more than ever.
So I'm personally asking you: will you please chip in whatever you can right now?

Jason, We have BIG news — a generous donor has offered to match every dollar given to this email up to $500,000. That means your $7 will become $14 when you donate now. If you’re ready to pitch in, you can donate $7 here >> If you’re not quite there yet, let us explain why this is so important: The DNC is the ONLY organization working around the clock to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, across the country, every year. This year, we’re already hard at work registering new Democrats in key battleground states, organizing in every corner of the country, funneling resources to the campaigns and state parties that need them most, and fighting the Trump administration in court. This work is imperative not only for winning midterms this year, but also for continuing to build the infrastructure we need to win for years to come. But none of it is possible without our grassroots team. Jason, this is a HUGE opportunity for you to double your impact, but it won’t last forever. If you’re ready to join the thousands of other Democrats nationwide in contributing to our fight to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, please use this link to pitch in and have your $7 matched today >>>If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

County by county, voter by voter
California is massive.
There are 58 counties across this state — and reaching voters in every corner of California takes real resources. From digital outreach to organizing to getting our messages on TV, it all adds up fast.
We need to stay competitive and reach as many undecided voters as possible before ballots are cast.
And here’s the thing… every county matters.
We’ve assigned you Los Angeles County because we know reaching grassroots supporters there can make all the difference.
Katie isn’t taking corporate PAC money and she’s not funding her own campaign. She’s relying on people like you to power this campaign — county by county, voter by voter.
But California is one of the biggest and most expensive states in the country to campaign in, and we can’t afford to scale back the outreach we need in the final stretch of this race.
Please rush a contribution now to help Team Katie Porter reach more voters in Los Angeles County.
Thank you,
Team Katie Porter
