You know me.

I am not a doom and gloom kind of guy. I’m not going to tell you the sky is falling when you can look out the window and see it’s a nice day.

And honestly, I’ve been pretty happy with our fundraising pace so far this quarter. Today is the halfway mark to our next deadline — the official FEC one on June 30 — which my finance director likes to remind me means this is “really the time we have to pick up the pace.”

Our goals are modest but important. We’re not here trying to break records or raise money just for the sake of saying we can. But it is true that this is the moment we need to pick up our momentum.

So here’s where we’re at: As of this morning - halfway through the quarter - we’re 37% to our goal. Now before that alarms you, let me say that we didn’t expect to be at 50%. The nature of political fundraising is that the back half of the quarter is almost always better.

But it is going to be important that we reach our goal before our FEC deadline, and that’s going to take a lot of people giving small donations over the next six weeks. So I need to ask for your help:

Will you contribute to my re-election today to help us kick up our momentum heading into our next FEC deadline? I know it’s a ways off, but we need to start chipping away at our goal if we’re going to get there.

Look, I promised you from the start that I’d be honest and authentic in my asks. We’re not trying to create a fake sense of urgency by saying there’s a mid-month or May deadline. There isn’t.

I believe the best way to raise money is to be transparent about which deadlines matter (the official FEC deadlines) and which ones are made up. So far, we’ve seen a really positive response.

So if you believe in me and what we’re doing here, it’d mean a lot to me if you considered making a contribution to our campaign today.

Thank you in advance. It’s really special to me that I can count on so many people to have my back when it matters.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
