Katie reached out to you on Tuesday, and I want to make sure you caught her email. Here's what you need to know:
We hit an important FEC fundraising deadline tomorrow at midnight. Remember, we were outraised last quarter. That means the stakes couldn't be higher this time around.
Reporters are already asking if Katie has the grassroots support to compete and win. So, it's really important we post strong numbers. If we raise a lot, it will send a powerful message about the viability and strength of Katie's campaign—not only to our opponents and the media but also to voters.
If you're able to step up and add in a donation today to show your support, it'll mean so much to Katie and to the success of our campaign.

Subject: Recent reporter question
Katie Porter here. In a recent TV interview, I was asked if I had the fundraising power needed to run statewide here in California.
People are wondering if our team has the strength to go the distance because last quarter we were outraised by two million dollars. It's not because our opponent has thousands more supporters. We pulled in more money than any other candidate in small-dollar donations, but because of big checks and "max-out" contributions, he outraised us.
And because I don't take a dime from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or Big Oil, Big Pharma, or Big Bank CEOs, some have said we don't have a chance of catching up.
Here's the deal: I know that's BS. I'm confident our grassroots team has what it takes to fuel this campaign and win. Can you help prove the strength of our movement and chip in $15 today? Here's a link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kp4s-em-20230627-1
One of my favorite campaign activities is calling our grassroots supporters at random and saying thank you—getting to hear from the baristas and teachers and electricians who power our campaign, giving what they can, when they can.
Our campaign's fundraising is operating in a way that might be unique, and that's because I'm not just another career politician in Washington. I'm a single mom who ran for office when Trump came to power—and I'm here to shake up the status quo, hold corporations accountable, and deliver for working people.
Our end of quarter deadline is this Friday, and everyone's watching to see if we'll be outraised once again. This week is incredibly consequential for our campaign. I'd be so appreciative if you could make a contribution https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kp4s-em-20230627-1
Thanks so much,
Katie
