John, apologies for bumping this back to the top of your inbox, but I had to make sure you saw the Congresswoman's message. I'm meeting with her in just a few hours, and I want to make sure I have good news to share.

I joined Rep. Lee's campaign because I truly believe in her. She has proven time and time again that she will never shy away from a hard fight – and at a moment when so many of our fundamental rights are being trampled on, we need a fighter like Barbara Lee in the Senate.

But unless we make up some serious money and dig ourselves out of this steep fundraising deficit, we may miss our shot of sending Rep. Lee to the Senate.

So I'm reaching out now to give you another chance to please donate whatever you can spare to Barbara Lee's campaign before May ends.

Thanks for your help here.

Subject: we have a problem

John, these last few months have been incredible. From the moment I launched my Senate campaign earlier this year, support from progressive fighters in every corner of the nation began to pour in, and we've built a solid foundation for my historic run for Senate.

Now, with more than $1 million raised in just over a month, we are sending a powerful message to all that America is ready to have a Black woman in the Senate once again – especially one with decades of experience fighting for progress.

But we have a problem: Election analysts are estimating that this will be one of the most expensive Senate primaries in history – and on top of that, I started this race at a MASSIVE fundraising disadvantage.

We need to make up a lot of ground – and fast. That's why I set the ambitious goal to raise $100,000 before May comes to a close, and I'm relying on your support to get me there. John, every single dollar does make a difference, so I'm personally asking you:

Will you rush whatever you can spare to my campaign before our end-of-month deadline? I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work building a progressive future for all in the Senate, but I can only get there with your help.
