Blog de Dunlap: I’m running for re-election to hold the line against MAGA Republican extremists and make our country work for everyone, not just the rich and powerful. And I’m asking you to stay in the fight by my side.

Danielle, campaigns are chock-full of surprises, but you can count on some events like clockwork. And one of them's coming up fast.

In just a few weeks, we'll file an official report with the FEC on our fundraising for October, November, and December.

The numbers will be public.

Then Republican operatives, special interests, Big Tech moguls, Wall Street executives, and far-right ideologues will scour them for any signs of weakness.

Not just because they want to defeat me for re-election — but also because they want to prove that there isn't enough momentum for our progressive agenda.

But a whole bunch of $3 donations add up fast to demonstrate widespread support for ending Washington corruption, ensuring the right to an abortion, guaranteeing universal child care, getting the wealthy to pay their fair share, tackling corporate price gouging, and putting power in the hands of working people.

So, we've got to show the far right that there's a big, tough team fighting for this campaign and this mission. And one of the best ways to do that is by making a donation before the end of the year. Can you make a donation of $100 or any amount by December 31 to help make our next FEC fundraising report — the last before our election year — as strong as possible?

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will process automatically:

DONATE NOW: $15

DONATE NOW: $50

DONATE NOW: $100

DONATE NOW: $250

OTHER AMOUNT

The total amount we raise is an important stat, to be sure, but I'll really have my eye on something else:

The number of people who make a contribution.

Because the number of people who contribute — no matter the amount — demonstrates just how many people are still in this fight.

That number demonstrates the amount of people who are linking arms and fighting for the bold reforms our country needs — from taxing the rich so we can fund opportunity for all of our kids, to rooting corruption out of Washington so we can put our government on the side of working families.

With this final fundraising report of 2023, we've got one last chance to demonstrate the strength of our campaign as we head into 2024. And you don't need me to tell you everything that's on the line next year. The right to an abortion. The future of bedrock policies like Social Security and Medicare. Our democracy itself.

In the face of big threats, we can whimper. We can whine. Or we can fight back. Me? I'm fighting back. I'm running for re-election to hold the line against MAGA Republican extremists and make our country work for everyone, not just the rich and powerful. And I'm asking you to stay in the fight by my side.

If it makes sense for you right now, please chip in $100 or any amount to help win this re-election campaign and help put power in the hands of working people.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
