Hi there,

The result of the 2016 presidential election left me shocked and devastated -- I know many Americans felt the same way. The morning after the election, I knew I needed to do whatever it took to make sure an outcome like this would never happen again. I committed myself to ensuring the next President would be one who works toward unity and belonging, and that's exactly who Pete has proven himself to be. 

Say it with me: A year from today, Donald Trump will no longer be president.

Who will be in the Oval Office, ready to unify this country when the sun rises on the day after Trump? Who will be there to turn the page on the backwards and hateful agenda this administration has set for our country? 

Pete. Pete offers ideas bold enough to meet the challenges we face and big enough to bring people together to get them done. And I'm doing everything I can to make sure our team has the resources to win. 

But we're looking at a dead heat in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and the campaign that can raise the most money and talk to the most voters in the next several weeks will win. I know Team Pete can do that. Will you click here to donate $3 to help our campaign gather the necessary resources to succeed in the early contests?

Traveling the country and talking to voters from all walks of life has taught me that joy is stronger than hate, and that the American people are ready for change in Washington. 

I'm more confident than ever that we can defeat Donald Trump and usher in a new era of politics, but we've only got one shot. We have to work harder than ever before -- right now.

Thanks for being a part of our team.
