Hi there -- I wanted to make sure you saw the news from Tuesday that Democratic Congressman Ron Kind will not be seeking reelection for his highly contested seat in Wisconsin.
This means that Andy is now one of only five House Democrats left running for reelection in a district Trump won, and the GOP has one less frontline incumbent to go after.
I'm reaching out to ask for your support in this critical moment when the GOP is narrowing its focus on frontline races like Andy's. As of 5:00 PM, we're still $1,050 short of our Ground Game Fund goal. Can I count on you to give $5, $10, $25, or whatever you can at this link? secure.actblue.com/donate/donate-nj-03-ground-game-project
We know that this grassroots team can out-organize the GOP's dark money tactics. We've done it twice before. But we're going to need to go even bigger -- and build the largest ground operation in New Jersey history -- to do it again and hold the House. Please chip in what you can to our Ground Game Fund before midnight tonight: secure.actblue.com/donate/donate-nj-03-ground-game-project
Thanks so much,
Amy

Hi there,
I wish we had better news to share with you today, but the balance of power in the House is now even more precarious than it was yesterday. See for yourself:
[A POLITICO headline reads:
Rep. Ron Kind announces retirement in boon to GOP's House hopes
Kind, who has spent nearly 25 years in the House, faced a closer-than-expected race in his sprawling rural Wisconsin seat last fall.
Kind's retirement is the opening Republicans have been looking for to cut into Democrats' razor-thin House majority. And they won't stop with Wisconsin in their quest to take over Congress. "]
Republicans already had their list of targets -- and at the top are the small handful of Democrats representing districts that Trump won. The fact is, Andy is now one of only FIVE Democrats running for reelection in a district Trump won -- and standing in the way of the GOP retaking the House.
We all need to come together to move forward progress, but we can only do that if we invest in the ground game we need to win NJ-03. That's why we're setting a goal of $4,000 raised in the next 24 hours for Andy's Ground Game fund.

With an opening like Kind's retirement from a swing district, the GOP will only intensify the rhetoric that caused the Capitol insurrection in January. We can't afford to wait to invest in the tools we need to get out the message about Andy's record of service, especially with declared opponents like Tricia Flanagan obscuring the record with racist and misleading ads.
Can we count on you to make a contribution of $5, $25, $50, or whatever you can today to help bolster our Ground Game fund? [link removed]
We can't thank you enough for everything you're doing to help us keep moving forward together. Team Kim
