Hello,
I hope this email finds you well.
In the coming days, House Democrats face a critical special election to fill the seat that was held by my dear friend, the late Congressman Jack Murtha. The media is closely watching this election and the stakes could not be higher. I am writing to personally ask for your help as we prepare for the campaign's final stretch.
Republicans are investing heavily to try to win Jack's seat so they can claim momentum for this November's midterm elections. Fortunately, we have a strong Democratic candidate in Mark Critz. Mark served as a Jack Murtha's close advisor and director of economic development and will carry on his legacy. The latest polls show that this race is a dead heat. The next few days are crucial.
As Mark prepares to make his final media buys of this election, we have set a goal of raising $25,000 by Friday. I would be honored if you could help me reach this goal with a generous contribution for Mark Critz's final push.
For more than 20 years, I had the great privilege of calling Jack Murtha a friend and colleague in the United States Congress. As a former Marine, Jack was never one to back down from a difficult fight.
Please help me raise $25,000 for the final stretch of this race so we can win this fight for Jack.
Onward to victory!
Speaker Nancy Pelosi
