Schiff is running two campaigns–one for a Republican and one for himself

‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Adam Schiff has spent more than $10 million *boosting* our Republican opponent. Let us explain:

In October, former baseball player Steve Garvey got into the race. Polls initially showed him in third, behind us and Adam Schiff.

Then the Schiff campaign decided to go all in for Steve Garvey. The campaign itself has spent more than $10 million to consolidate conservative support behind Garvey. Their super PAC has spent millions more, with ads from both airing on Fox News constantly.

Garvey has risen in the polls, despite not running a single TV ad of his own or taking any sort of real policy position in our debates. In polls, he's now consistently tied with Katie or slightly ahead.

This cynical play to boost a Republican into the top two may work to further Schiff's own career, but it threatens to box out qualified Democratic women (and leave CA without a woman Senator for the first time in over thirty years).

As reporters have said, "If Schiff succeeds in juicing Republican turnout for Garvey, it stands to reason that those Republicans will also vote Republican down the ballot. Garvey himself has no shot of winning, but there may well be closer races in purple House and state legislative districts, school boards, and more that could be swung by a surge in Republican turnout that Schiff is spending millions to stoke."

This is a dangerous play that has national implications. Republicans hold the House majority by just a few seats, and several flippable districts are here in California. If our state has a competitive Democrat on Democrat contest in November, it will encourage Democratic voters to tune in and show up. But a Republican on Democrat race for Senate here in California threatens to depress Democratic turnout, as folks know this is a safe blue seat.

Career politicians shouldn't get to manipulate the electorate and buy themselves a promotion.

There are just five days until the election, and we are doing everything we can to beat Republican Steve Garvey and make it into the general election, where we know Katie has a strong chance of winning. Anything you can give right now will help us defeat Republicans and send Katie Porter to the Senate.

Many thanks,

Katie is running for the U.S. Senate because Californians deserve a warrior fighting for them in Washington. Our campaign is people-powered, we don't take a dime from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or executives from Big Oil or Big Pharma.

This is the last email we'll send you about our end-of-month deadline. Thanks to the unwavering support of grassroots supporters like you over these last few days, we were able to close in on our fundraising gap, bringing us to 95% of our February fundraising goal.

But here's the thing:

There are TWO HOURS left before our end-of-month deadline.
We still need to raise $6,000 if we want to hit our goal.
We need the strength of dedicated Democrats in your community to help steer our party toward victory in upcoming special elections and throughout 2024.

Thousands of Democrats have joined our movement to defeat extreme Republicans. This is the energy we need to propel Democrats forward:

Will you join Democrats in your community by rushing a gift of $7 or more before midnight to help crush our fundraising goal? This is your last chance to step up and make THREE TIMES the impact →

If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.

Chip in $7 ($21 impact!)

Chip in $25 ($75 impact!)

Chip in $50 ($150 impact!)

Chip in $100 ($300 impact!)

Chip in another amount »

Let's be clear: failing to meet tonight's goal could give extreme Republicans an edge as we head into March. With several high-stakes special elections over the few months, hitting our target is an absolute must.

If Republicans win, so does their hateful far-right agenda.

Donations from supporters like you allow our party to build winning campaigns, strengthen our on-the-ground efforts, and mobilize voters. But our strategy to defeat the right-wing agenda hinges on your commitment.

Don't wait. Will you represent local Democrats by chipping in an urgent 3X-matched gift of $7 to help reach our end-of-month goal?

We've witnessed the incredible achievements we can accomplish when we unite behind a common cause, and with you by our side, there's no challenge we can't overcome.

We're relying on you in this critical hour,

Team DLCC

Hi there, did you see Kirsten's email from yesterday? She reached out to personally ask committed supporters like you to donate before her end-of-month deadline at midnight tonight.

But there are just over 2 hours left to hit her $100,000 goal, and you still haven't answered her call!

This is the last email that you'll get from our team before we close the books on the shortest month of the year. Kirsten can't afford a single misstep. So please, can you rush a gift now to help her make up the gap before it's too late? Here's a personalized link to make your donation: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gfs_fr_defend-senate-2024

This election cycle is already shaping up to be one of the most expensive in history — and New York is on the GOP's list of top-targeted seats. GOP megadonors are going to be pouring MILLIONS into this race. Kirsten refuses to accept a cent from corporate PACs, so she's counting on strong, early support from grassroots donors to fight back.

There's still time to answer Kirsten's call and stand with her — but the clock is ticking. Please, can you chip in anything you can spare before February ends to help us hit our deadline at midnight? Here's that ActBlue link again: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gfs_fr_defend-senate-2024

The path to a blue Senate AND a blue House runs through New York. That means the GOP will jump on any signs of weakness in Kirsten's campaign. We cannot let ourselves fall short here.

Thank you so much,

Stefanie

From: Kirsten Gillibrand
Subject: personally reaching out

Friend, I wanted to reach out to personally thank you.

I have so much to thank you for, so this message is a bit longer than usual. But in case you're short on time, I have to make sure that you see this first: My end-of-month deadline is less than 36 hours away, and we're still pacing dangerously short of my $100,000 goal. I hate that I have to ask, but this is incredibly important: If you have anything extra to spare, can you chip in $5 to help me hit this goal? We've made so much progress together already, but I need your help to make sure that we can continue this work for years to come.

DONATE NOW

If you have the time to keep reading, I hope that you'll take a moment to celebrate our recent wins.

In 2023, we really got to work. I introduced legislation to create a national paid leave program — legislation that I first introduced 10 years ago and have continued to advocate for since then. You immediately rallied behind me, voicing your support for this long-overdue legislation. And today, support for paid family leave is higher than ever before — including 85% of all voters in battleground states! Thank you for making this possible.

I also released my Strategic Plan on Aging to make sure that our seniors can retire with dignity and financial stability. From expanding existing programs like Medicare to helping more seniors remain in their homes, these proposals would drastically improve the quality of life for millions of seniors. Thank you for supporting my work to make this happen.

I'm also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from this grassroots team after I introduced a resolution to finally certify the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment would establish protections against gender-based discrimination in our constitution, once and for all, giving us a legal basis to restore reproductive rights. Activists have been fighting for the ERA for 100 years, and it is truly an honor to carry forward their work today. Thank you for standing beside me in the fight for gender equity and reproductive freedom.

Lastly, I fought tirelessly to make sure that the National Defense Authorization Act included a pay increase for service members, investments to clean up toxic PFAS contamination and funding for hundreds of spots in my brand-new cyber security academy at over 400 schools. Thank you for helping me ensure that our veterans and service members get the benefits they deserve.

There have been so many other moments when you've stood beside me, and I am grateful for every single one of them. But our fight for progress is far from over. And now, Democrats are in the most difficult election year in recent memory.

Here in New York, Republicans just had their best election cycle in years. Now, they're directly targeting my seat. With a narrow 51-49 majority, we cannot afford to show any signs of weakness. Missing this end-of-month goal would be sending a crystal clear message to the GOP that this seat is up for grabs. So please, will you donate $5 or whatever you can spare before 11:59 p.m. to help me continue our fight for progress this year? Because I refuse to accept corporate PAC money, I'm counting on your help to make up the gap.

If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

DONATE $5

DONATE $25

DONATE $50

DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT

Thank you again for all that you do. I'm so grateful to have you on my team as we head into March.

With love,

Kirsten

A note from Kirsten:

Friend, I can't thank you enough for standing by my side in the critical fights ahead of us. As Democrats face our toughest Senate map in decades, I need your help more than ever.

While Republicans only have to defend 10 seats in 2024, Democrats have to defend 23 — and if the GOP flips just two of them, it will deliver Senate control back to Mitch McConnell. Now, experts at FiveThirtyEight are saying that the GOP has a clear path to the majority.

As right-wing special interests gear up to pour millions into flipping the Senate, we need to fight back right now. But I refuse to take a single cent from corporate PACs, which means I'm relying on your grassroots support. So please, chip in to help defend our narrow Democratic Senate majority. And if you'd like to become a core member of my team and receive exclusive texts from my campaign, text JOIN to 60708.

Thank you,

A just released poll has good news and bad news:

Good: We've moved up one point, and our Republican opponent has moved down two.

Bad: We're still in third place, behind by three points. (Remember we just need second place to advance to the general.)

Importantly, 17% of voters are undecided. If we can convince just a small percentage of them to vote for me, I'll pull ahead and make the general election.

If I advance to the general election, there's a good chance we will win that race. That's why super PACs and the Schiff campaign are doing everything they can to prevent me from advancing, and I won't BS you: their plan might work.

Anything you can give right now will help us pull ahead and WIN this race.

Before you turn in this evening...

Jeanne, I wanted to send you a quick note before you turn in for the evening.

I'll be completely honest with you: When I reached out earlier today, I didn't think we were going to hit tonight's end-of-month fundraising goal.

But after thousands of folks across Nevada and the country donated to help, we've made incredible progress – and we're nearly there.

We just need a few more supporters to join in and help us close the gap so we can defend this seat and our Senate majority.

I noticed that you haven't had a chance to chip in yet, so I'm personally asking you one last time to help us close this gap before our midnight deadline: Will you please rush your first donation of $5 now to help us reach our end-of-month goal, win in Nevada, and keep the Senate blue?

Thank you,

Jacky Rosen
