Dear Lucas,
EMILY's List and I are out to make history this November.
Here in Iowa, we've never sent a woman to Congress. In 168 years.
I'm running for Congress because I believe that we need more voices at the table who understand the struggle women and families face every day across America.
I'm incredibly proud to have the support of EMILY's List because I know this community stands behind its candidates. And I, for one, wouldn't be here today without you.
My campaign is facing a critical deadline in just 12 days. Can you help us reach our End of Quarter goal by making a $3 donation today? Every donation, every dollar, truly helps.
Our campaign is coming to a crossroads. The divided GOP failed to nominate a Republican candidate in the primary earlier this month, so my SIX potential opponents (each one more extreme than the next) are heading into a nominating convention where the most extreme Iowa Republican delegates will choose between them.
In short: it's a race to the right on the other side, and we've got to seize every opportunity to prepare ourselves for the attacks that are coming.
Donate $3 to our campaign and help us defeat the Tea Party wave that's coming to Iowa.
As a state senator, I pushed for common sense laws that help protect working families. It's more of this approach that our Congress so desperately needs — and a lot less of the Tea Party.
Thanks for being a part of our fight,
Staci Appel
Democratic nominee, Iowa's Third Congressional District
