You need to have thick skin to run for office — I’ve had campaign signs vandalized, and people targeted my wife’s business as well. Devin Nunes is even threatening to sue me. And Republicans had no problem escalating attacks to the level of trying to rip my family off their health insurance. Republicans have sought to damage my reputation and paint me out to be something I’m not. But I’m still here and I’m still running — I won’t be intimidated by these transparent attempts to force me out of this race. Republicans continue to underestimate our campaign — they think they can make me drop out. But all they’ve done is give us more motivation to win. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

My campaign is hoping to go up with ads telling voters exactly how Republicans have targeted my Democratic campaign — but we need your help to fund them.

If we’re going to put our ads up, we need to raise $5,000 in the next week to make sure we can fully fund our ad buy and win this race. Will you chip in to help us out?

The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.

 I wanted to share an event we’ll be having in Fresno on 1/11. It’s a half-day training for anyone interested in getting involved with the campaign. I’ll also be there that weekend. The sign up link is here: https://www.mobilize.us/californiaforwarren/event/180264/. Please feel free to share it with anyone you think might be interested. 

A half-day training for volunteers interested in taking on a leadership role in the campaign.
Bitwise Industries, Classroom 4
700 Van Ness Ave
Classroom 4
Fresno, CA 93721

Can you volunteer at least 5 hours / week on the campaign? Can you organize at least two events / month in your community? Then join us for our Warren Weekend, a half-day training on the nuts and bolts of being a Community Team Leader for Warren!

Community Team Leaders play a key role in building the grassroots organization we need to win the Democratic nomination for president. They recruit local volunteers, set up voter contact and visibility events like door knocking, phone banking, tabling, and more! The campaign works directly with Community Team Leaders to provide advice, training, and support to develop a national network of local activists, representing Elizabeth in their hometowns/local areas.

This is a half-day training from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

“"

We did it.

It was a close one, but in the final days of December this team rallied together to help us crush our end-of-quarter fundraising goal. I’m so grateful for your support.

I look forward to sharing the specifics very soon, but know that with your help we will post our strongest fundraising quarter yet. That’s huge — especially given that David Valadao has been raising massive sums of corporate PAC cash over the last few months.

We’ve never had an easy road in our fight to bring progressive change to the Central Valley. We’ve been counted out, overlooked, and underestimated from the start. But as we head into 2020, we do so confidently. And that’s because of your continued support.

Counting on individual donors instead of special interest cash means we can run a true grassroots campaign that’s centered on the needs of Central Valley working families. That’s how we defeated the Republican establishment in 2018, and with your help, that’s how we’ll keep this seat blue in 2020.

I hope your new year is off to a strong start! Thanks again for stepping up.

TJ Cox
