I'm a straight-shooter, and right now that means telling you that with just 4 days until the election, I'm at real risk of losing. Anything you can give right now will be put to immediate use reaching voters.
Here's the deal, recent polls show this race as a dead heat for second place. Second place really matters, because the top two primary finishers advance to the general.
Schiff is currently polling in first place, and because general election polls show I have a strong chance of winning in a head to head matchup, Schiff is spending millions of dollars to consolidate GOP support behind former LA Dodger, Steve Garvey. As Slate reported:
"If Garvey does advance, it would essentially ensure that a centrist like Schiff would win the general election for the Senate seat—a coup for the old-guard Democratic moderates like Nancy Pelosi, and a frustrating miss for progressives hoping to shift Feinstein's old seat at least slightly to the left."
This race is not about me. It's about the future of our country and of our party. Washington is broken, and the answer isn't to send more of the same.
I'm a single mom of three school aged kids who first ran for office in 2018. I raised my hand to run because as a consumer protection advocate, I saw how corporate special interests were making it difficult for working people to get ahead.
I don't look or talk like most other Members of Congress—and I don't fundraise like them either. As the only candidate in this race who has never taken corporate PAC money and supports banning it altogether, I truly count on support from real people, $5 or $50 at a time.
Because of California's open primary system, the top two candidates, regardless of party, advance to the general. Republican Steve Garvey and I are neck and neck for second place, with recent polls showing Steve slightly ahead. But his three point lead is still within the margin of error, and 17% of voters are reportedly undecided about who they'll support.
So here's what's most important: We must do EVERYTHING we can between now and Tuesday to pull ahead. With less than 15% of ballots returned, this whole race is going to come down to turnout and last minute persuasion.
We can increase our digital ads literally minute by minute, and so anything you give right now will be put right to use reaching voters. Just $15 gets an ad in front of 500 people, and in this tight of a race, every single vote is going to count.
Most elected officials *hate* to admit that they want power. But I'll be real—I want power because it will enable us to go after corporate CEOs who are keeping wages low. It will enable me to hold government officials accountable for corruption. And it will allow me to fight for more affordable housing, action on climate change, and a better future for California families.
This race is bigger than just me, and I can't do this alone. After March 5th it will be too late, but right now we can still pull ahead. Is there anything you can give today?
First and foremost, we just wanted to say thank you for bearing with the number of fundraising emails and texts we sent before our February fundraising deadline.
These messages are an important piece of how we will fund a winning campaign, so hopefully they are a small price to pay for keeping Trump out of the White House and reelecting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
You may not have been able to donate during the final days of the deadline, but that's all right. We know you will when you can. And even just opening up the emails we send makes a big difference.
Today we're writing because Super Tuesday is in just days. This was a critical moment for President Biden in 2020, and it's a critical moment for his reelection campaign now in 2024.
That is why we're looking for a strong show of support today. Here's the ask:
Thank you for being there for the President and Vice President. You're a super important part of this team.

We're facing what could be the most expensive Senate race in the Nation. My self-funding, mega-millionaire opponent has his own personal fortune, out-of-state billionaires, and all of Mitch McConnell's resources aligned to support him.
To fight back, I need your help. Our campaign is powered by thousands of folks from across the Nation chipping in what they can to keep Pennsylvania from flipping red. We need to grow that team to win, so I'm asking if you can help us out today.
I'm proud of what we're building together. Whether or not you can contribute today, staying up to date with our campaign makes you a part of this team.
Jason -- We're kicking off Women's History Month by featuring the one and only Vice President Kamala Harris!
From her barrier-breaking time as district attorney of San Francisco and attorney general of California to proudly serving as a United States senator and the first woman Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris has never stopped delivering for Americans and is an inspiration to all.
As Vice President, Kamala Harris has worked to bring people together to advance opportunity, deliver for families nationwide, protect every American's fundamental freedoms such as voting and reproductive rights, and so much more.
Every purchase from this American-made, union-printed collection honors Vice President Harris and ensure that the Biden-Harris campaign has the resources we need to win nationwide come November.

Hey, it's Betsy!! My mom, Katie Porter, is running in a really competitive race right now and she's pretty worried she's going to lose if we don't get a big wave of support really soon. Can you chip in?
My mom is reallyyy busy, but even when she isn't home I know my mom is on my team, the same way she says our campaign supporters are all in this together.
The next few days are big ones at our house! My mom of course has her election, my oldest brother Luke is voting for the first time, and I have a water polo tournament this weekend.
I really want to see her win! Did you know that if she doesn't, California won't have a woman in the Senate for the first time not just since I've been alive, but in 30 years!
