John — I looked at our April fundraising numbers this morning, and I need to start with a big thanks.

Thousands of you contributed to my re-election campaign last month! Thank you. It’s great to see this kind of support when I know just how much we need it.

But I’m going to be direct — May and the following months will be tough. The primary is in about two weeks, and once my opponent is declared, the attacks and spending against me will increase.

That's why my team and I aren't wasting any time preparing for the fight ahead. Will you help us prepare for the next phase of this campaign? Please contribute ahead of our final pre-primary reporting deadline tonight at midnight to help me take on whichever Republican opponent wins on May 16 >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/beshear-preprimary-deadline-23?refcode2=personal

I'll never stop fighting for our Commonwealth. My mission is clear: Continue leading and serving the people of Kentucky by tearing down barriers, reaching across the aisle, and finding common ground for the betterment of our communities. In the last three years, we've proven that we can rise above partisan fighting and find solutions that enhance the lives of Kentuckians across every zip code.

But if we're going to continue making progress, I need your support as we prepare for this race to heat up. Election experts are already calling it the most competitive race in the entire country this year, and outside groups have already spent millions to boost my opponents. We need to ensure we have the resources to fight back against any attack that comes our way.

If you're with me, chip in whatever you can afford before our final pre-primary reporting deadline and help me win the most competitive race of the year. >> https://secure.actblue.com/donate/beshear-preprimary-deadline-23?refcode2=personal

Sincerely,

Andy
