Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D. CA) in support of Katie Porter’s (D. CA-45) congressional campaign:
Team --
In just a few moments, I am going to ask you to rush an urgent contribution to Katie Porter’s campaign. With just two weeks until the primary, her campaign has a budget shortfall and is facing false attacks from her opponent. Give me a moment to explain why this is so important:
If you don’t know Katie, she’s a bold, progressive activist I hired during the financial crisis to help me force Wall Street banks to pay a multi-billion settlement to California homeowners.
Thanks to her efforts, we won that fight -- and now she’s running for Congress to take on the Big Banks and ensure people like you have a voice in our government once again.
Katie’s opponent is a rubber-stamp for this Administration’s agenda, voting with them 98.6% of the time this past year.
According to Katie’s campaign manager, they need $14,000 to fight back against these attacks and finish this race. Otherwise, their get-out-the-vote and final paid media efforts over the next two weeks could fall short.
I am asking you to rush an urgent contribution of $3 to Katie Porter’s campaign right now. Your support will help make up this shortfall and could be the difference between victory or defeat next month.
Katie Porter is a fearless progressive leader. We need her in Washington if we’re going to take on Wall Street and this Administration. I hope she can count on you to add your support today.
Thanks for all you do,
Kamala Harris
U.S. Senator, California
