But don't celebrate just yet - Democrats are now expected to vote late

Reform California just got the first report back from the CA Secretary of State's office on the number of ballots returned so far in the June Primary and Republicans are SURGING in Early Ballot returns in California! But we still see risks of GOP SHUT OUTS in key races and urgently need your help to build on this early lead in voting:

Two weeks ago we implored you to help with Reform California’s massive statewide “Early” Ballot Program where we made over 1.5 million contacts to early voters to get them our "Plain English" Voter Guide and urge them to vote early.

As you can see from the data below from the first CA SOS report, our investment is clearly paying off!

The first CA SOS report shows the Republican share of “early” voters in California has SPIKED and is running more than 9% above registration - and Democrat turnout is way down!

‍

Democrat Share of Early Ballot Returns

41% (down 7% from 2022)

Republican Share of Early Ballot Returns

34% (up 8% from 2022)

Independent Share of Early Ballot Returns

25% (up 2% from 2022)

‍

But don’t celebrate! Our one big worry is Democrats may be holding onto their ballots because they are still deciding among several candidates for Governor on their side.

We're also really worried that Democrats will pour in massive funding to harvest ballots in these last 2 weeks to erase our early gains.

‍

WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM ASAP: After pouring everything we had into the “Early” Ballot Program, we desperately need YOUR HELP ASAP to move on to the "Late" Ballot Program in our campaign to persuade UNDECIDED voters and boost turnout of low-propensity voters on our side.

Can you chip in a contribution TODAY so we can keep boosting GOP turnout in the Primary Election so we don't get shut out of key races?

Bottomline: we MUST assume Democrats will surge before Election Day.

Remember: Our early turnout advantage could very well be the MARGIN OF VICTORY in key races – so we absolutely have to keep our pace up!

Here's what we're planning to do to spike turnout among "Late" GOP Voters:

FINAL MAILINGS: We are planning one final mailing of the Reform California Voter Guides to “Late” voters this week, but we need help with postage.
TEXTS: We will send 3 million more texts between now and Election Day.
BALLOT HARVESTING: We are hosting dozens of BBQ, Beer & Ballot events along with funding student canvassers door-to-door in target areas.

PLEASE help us keep this amazing momentum going by contributing to our "Late" Ballot Program to turnout the remaining GOP voters we need to prevent shutouts in key races across the state!

Best,

Carl DeMaio

Chairman, Reform California

CA State Representative (Assembly District 75)

PS: Please continue to use email, social media posts, and your own text lists to share this link to the Reform California "Plain English" Voter Guide. If we make voting simple with this voter guide it increases the turnout on our side! LINK: ElectionGuideCalifornia.org
