Dear Friends,

Last night, updating the vote count in our race for Congress, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the margin "is only getting tighter" between Republican Dan Roberts and me.

Across the entire district, the Chronicle noted, Roberts is now just 757 votes ahead -- and the estimated more than 9,000 ballots that remain to be counted are all in Sonoma County, where I did very well on Election Day.

With completion of the vote count just a few days away, our campaign's election protection work continues to be essential. And I gotta tell you, the bills are mounting. So, if you can afford to help, please click here to ensure that every vote is counted.

We're fulfilling our commitment to closely monitor the vote count in counties throughout the district. This is only possible because of the idealism, hard work and generosity of so many people who've stepped forward to help, whether volunteering dozens of hours to do key election-protection tasks or making a donation.

Whatever you've done, and whatever you can do -- thank you!

I feel deep gratitude for all the generosity that has propelled our campaign. We will continue to advocate for genuine democracy, human rights, social justice, environmental protection and peace.

With appreciation and best wishes,
Norman

PS -- I want to invite you to our What's Next event at the campaign's San Rafael headquarters on the afternoon of Saturday, July 7. For details, and to RSVP, please click here. Hope to see you there!
