Special CT state election. Contribute to the Democratic momentum!

A few weeks ago I encouraged people to support a Dem trying to oust the Repubs from a seat they'd held since 1891 (not a typo!). He didn't win, but he did reduce the spread from 33% in the previous election to 11%. Hoping to get 6 more % in the next round. But I got this e-mail from his campaign contact. It's another opportunity to work from the bottom up. Let's take this CT house seat away from the Repubs!!!! HOP ON BOARD! This nationwide train is chugging!!!

Dear friends,

It's been a little while since we last spoke, and I hope all has been well with you. Since Greg Cava unfortunately did not win election to the State Senate, the State Rep seat occupied by his opponent is now open, and there is now a special election scheduled for April 25th.

Our candidate is Lou Esposito, a local businessman and little league football coach with deep roots in the Watertown community. I am writing you with an urgent request to support Lou's campaign.

Right now, we still need to raise $3700 by April 5th to qualify for public financing. Once we qualify for our grant, we can hit the ground running and really build on our momentum from the Cava campaign. Can we count on you to give $25, $50, or $100 to help us keep the State House blue?
