John, since we are a grassroots organization, we want to be really transparent with you about where our fundraising this month is at, compared to 2021 (the last year we recruited candidates):
Time Period Amount Raised
May 1-26, 2023: $62,922
May 1-26 2021: $126,568
Difference: –$63,646
We reject all corporate PAC contributions and rely on small-dollar fundraising, so it’s really important that we notice any dips and do everything we can to make up the difference.
Unlike the DCCC, we don’t believe in trying to scare or guilt trip you into donating. There is no reason to kiss all hope goodbye. And we don’t have any generous donors to “QUADRUPLE MATCH” your donation.
We really do need to get serious about our fundraising as we get even closer to the mid-point of the year and make up for our unprecedented slowdown.
We’re so thankful for your support.
More soon,
Team JD
