The latest fundraising email for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee was sent out this afternoon by Gabby Giffords, the former congresswoman who was shot in the head in 2011.
“I need your urgent support,” Giffords writes.
“There’s only one House race in the entire country that remains too-close-to-call.
“It’s the same Southern Arizona district I represented when I was in Congress.
“Ron Barber is a good friend and a good Congressman. Right now his race is within 0.07% — or a 161 vote margin.
“Ron can absolutely win this race once all the votes are counted, but his opponents are working to make sure that doesn’t happen. Hundreds of voters are being silenced. Their ballots remain uncounted.
“Ron’s opponents will find any way they can to win, which means Ron’s campaign needs the resources to fight back and challenge every trick they try to pull.
“Can I count on you to contribute $5 to Ron Barber so he has the resources to make sure every vote is counted?”
