[Will you help me flip this seat from red to blue with a contribution today? >>](  Recently, our people-powered campaign has found itself in a very unique position. You might remember me from my previous run against McCarthy, where we built a strong grassroots foundation and gained significant name recognition.  Now, we can apply the full force of our grassroots coalition to a lesser-known republican opponent.  Our shot at Democratic victory in CA-20 has never been greater, {NAME}.   [I can’t do this alone, and our district is going to be a battleground for healthcare access, poverty reduction, and reproductive rights. Can I count on you to help me seize the moment by chipping in now?]( [CHIP IN]( Let's win this, Marisa Wood  Marisa Wood is a public school teacher, mother and grandmother, and she has spent her last 20 years serving the Bakersfield Community that she calls home. [Marisa Wood]( Marisa knows that this district – and all of its families – deserve someone fighting for them in Washington, not a career politician who cares about rich donors and fighting partisan battles.
