May I have just a second of your time, John?

In just a few days, campaigns like mine and Maggie Hassan's will be hustling to close fundraising gaps for our end-of-the-month deadlines.

This is a big deal.

Pundits will use the number as a bellwether of our campaign’s strength. With experts predicting a tough cycle for Democrats, it’s imperative that we show strength at every single deadline – big or small.

Here’s why I’m reaching out: we pulled the numbers and to be blunt, we are a bit behind. We can recover, but I do need to ask you to split $3 today between my campaign and Maggie Hassan's, before this hole gets worse. Can I count on your help?

I know your money is hard-earned, and I don’t make this ask lightly. I’m so grateful for anything you can give.

All my best,
Lisa
