I'm a straight-shooter, and right now that means telling you that with just 5 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.
This could be one of the last times I ask: Can you be the reason I stay in Congress fighting against corruption and corporate greed?
Onward to Election Day,
Katie
