[I’ve never faced an election challenge like this before. Can you split $25 between my campaign and The Collective PAC to defend my seat and our Democracy?]( We know when Republicans win, it leads to failing schools, shuttered hospitals, and a lack of support for our rural communities. We have to keep fighting for our democracy, for unity, and for a renewed faith in the promise of America. Simply put: it’s going to be tough. Here in Georgia, Republicans are furious after we beat them so badly in 2020. First, they passed a shameful voter suppression bill designed to restrict access to the ballot box for poor, elderly, rural, and non-white Georgians. Then, they redrew my seat to make it harder for me to win again. And now, national Republicans are pouring more money than they ever have into Georgia and releasing attack after attack on me. If we can’t defend seats like mine this cycle, Democrats WILL lose the House. [To stay on track to win in November, I need to raise $15,000 by tonight at midnight.
