It's official: Carly Fiorina won the Republican primary tonight and will be Barbara Boxer's opponent in the race for U.S. Senate.
This election is about who's fighting to create jobs and who's in touch with Californians. The choice between the two candidates couldn't be clearer.
But we've got to make sure the voters know about that choice -- and there's no time to lose.
So tonight we're sending you this special video message from Barbara -- and asking for your support as we officially kick off our general election campaign tonight. Watch Barbara's new video now, and forward this email to your friends:
Tonight we're also launching new features at BarbaraBoxer.com to share Barbara Boxer's many accomplishments and positions on the urgent issues facing our state. While there, I hope you'll also visit our new "Setting the Record Straight" section where we will continue to correct the false and misleading attacks from the Fiorina campaign.
Over the next five months, our campaign will be reaching out aggressively to educate Californians about the stark differences in the records, positions, and priorities of the two candidates.
But let me be clear: We expect this to be a tough and expensive race. Fiorina has a personal net worth upwards of $100 million, and she's already spent more than $5 million of it to win the primary.
Now that our campaign has entered a new phase, we're going to need all of your support to re-elect Barbara Boxer this November -- starting right now.
Please contribute now -- and help Barbara Boxer beat Carly Fiorina!
Our campaign is energized and organized and ready for the campaign ahead.
Please join us. The race is on.
Sincerely,
Rose Kapolczynski
Campaign Manager
Boxer for Senate
P.S. Thanks to all of the Boxer supporters who contributed generously to our weeklong $200,000 grassroots fundraising drive! You've given us a big boost to kick off our general election campaign -- but we need your help tonight to keep it going. Please contribute now.
