| John,
Did you see Marisa’s message yesterday about KQED’s Voter Guide? With midterm elections approaching, I’m reaching out to reiterate just how important KQED is to elections in California.
In the 2020 election cycle our guide received 339,000 views and an 80% increase in public engagement since 2016 — which points to the incredible number of people accessing the Voter Guide and the growing demand for the critical, fact-driven support and analysis KQED provides. Because of the Voter Guide, people across the state have a critical resource to help them cast informed votes that align with their values.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a part of our community. You are part of the solution to help our region vote with confidence.
We’ve got one more week of the September fundraising drive — the deadline to give is September 30. I hope you can join as a member with a special gift today.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Isip
President & CEO |  |

| | | | | Dear John,
It’s Marisa Lagos. You may recognize me from the show Political Breakdown.
As you know, we have midterm elections coming up. In addition to the flagship races for Governor and Congress, there are ballot propositions, state officials and local positions. And you want to make the choices that are right for you. But often, it seems like the more you engage with the political process, the more overwhelming it can be.
Luckily for you, we’ll be publishing KQED’s Voter Guide in the coming weeks to help you. And you can trust that the Voter Guide is fact-based and not biased by corporate interests. Just like everything at KQED, it’s funded by listeners, viewers and readers like you.
There’s one week left of our September fundraising drive. KQED needs your help to reach our critical fundraising goal before the end of our fiscal year on September 30. Can you join as a member with a gift today?

| | | | | | | | With the decline in local journalism in California and across the nation, and many outlets eager to repeat falsehoods to sell advertising, it can be hard to stay optimistic about the fate of our country.
But together, we can be part of the solution, John. Your gift today empowers our journalists to go beyond headlines and political soundbites. Over 100 reporters, editors and producers work together to bring you award-winning content every day. Thank you for supporting programs like Political Breakdown and the KQED Voter Guide!
Please join as a member in the September fundraising drive before the deadline!
Thank you for being a part of the solution.
