personally asking {NAME}

[Pamela Pugh for Congress]( {NAME} – this is Dr. Pamela Pugh, the public health expert running for the toss-up House seat in Michigan’s 8th District. I’m reaching out today to personally ask if you will [make your first donation to our campaign]( before midnight tonight to help us hit our April fundraising goal. I’m facing a tough primary fight against multiple opponents who are relying on max-out checks from special interest-backed donors. When we win the primary in August, we’ll be up against a Republican opponent who wants to ban abortion federally, and you can bet National Republicans will throw heaps of dark money into this “toss-up” district to try to defeat us. As a candidate who doesn’t come from a wealthy background, we’re doing this a different way – building a grassroots campaign with thousands of individual donors giving what they can when they can, like Ronald from Burton, MI who just gave $5, or Elana from Detroit who just gave $10, or Anna from TX who just gave $20.24. The truth is, I simply can’t win without your support. [So I need to ask: Will you please make your first donation to my campaign in this critical moment and join our 3,000+ donors to help us hit our April goal, help Democrats win back the house in 2024, and send a history-making candidate like me to Congress?]( Thanks so much, Pam If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly: [DONATE $5]( [DONATE $20.24]( [DONATE $50]( [ANOTHER AMOUNT]( --------------------------------------------------------------- I’m Dr. Pamela Pugh, and I’m a Saginaw native running for Congress in Michigan's 8th District. I've spent my career fighting to improve the lives of Michigan residents through public health initiatives, and as the Chief Public Health Advisor for Flint I played a pivotal role in standing alongside Flint residents during the water crisis. As a public servant, I currently serve as the President of the Michigan State Board of Education, a statewide elected position. I believe in standing up for the people and fighting for our democracy, our children, and our future. I've lived in Michigan's 8th District for my entire life and it will be the honor of a lifetime to represent my community in the House of Representatives. I'm relying on grassroots contributions to fuel my campaign to victory — [so please chip in what you can right now!]( Our email list is an important tool for us to reach Democrats and activists in Michigan and around the country.
