I'm not one for BS, especially not four days before Election Day.
So I won't sugarcoat it: polls are predicting we're going to lose, and my time in Congress will come to an end for good (more below, but if you'd like to help us win, please click here).
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?
Thank you so, so much.
Katie Porter
