Hillary Clinton sent her first fundraising email of the 2014 election cycle Monday morning, asking for donations on behalf of House Democrats campaign arm, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

In the email titled A Choice & A Chance Mrs. Clinton wrote, Every election is an opportunity to shape our future. This Novembers elections, she continued, are a chance to elect Democrats to Congress who will fight for us every day.

The email then asks readers to donate to the DCCC, starting at $19.

Mrs. Clinton, who has said she is still deciding whether to run for president in 2016, will appear at a fundraiser on the committees behalf next Monday in New York City, and will appear at another in San Francisco next month. Bill Clinton also appeared at a fundraiser for the committee earlier this month.

Mrs. Clintons fundraising help comes amid renewed focus on Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, which raises money for gubernatorial, congressional and presidential candidates. Ms. Wasserman Schultz, who has helped raise millions of dollars for Democrats, has met headwinds after she criticized the White Houses approach to border security and likened the tea partys treatment of women to domestic violence. She was also subject of a profile in Politico recently.

Democrats need to pick up 17 seats in the House to win a majority an unlikely prospect, despite the fact that the DCCC has consistently outraised its Republican counterpart. Last month, the committee raised $10.2 million, bringing its total haul since 2013 to $150 million. The National Republican Congressional Committee raised far less: $4.4 million in August, with a total haul of $114 million.

National party committees, of course, capture only a small part of the overall spending picture. Candidates, super PACs and other outside groups are also spending millions on House races across the country.
