John,

As a consumer protection attorney, there’s a lot I’ve always disliked
about political emails. Emails that try to shame or terrify you into
donating aren’t my style.

Let me break down a few of the tactics you’ve probably seen:

“We need 5,238 donors from YOUR zip code.” This is fake. We have goals and
deadlines, and donations from different parts of the state or country can
signal support, but there’s no crazy math like this happening.

“Donate $5 today and it will be triple matched.” I promise nobody is
really doing this.

“Warning: Payment incomplete.” I despise these misleading emails that make
you think you’ve missed a bill. Invoking this type of fear in people is
unacceptable.

I’ve introduced legislation to crackdown on scam PACs, who can often be
the worst offenders of this. Scam PACs are political organizations that
exist to steal money rather than to support a cause or candidate. Their
expenditures go solely to “consultants” rather than real causes, and it’s
a shameful way to make a quick buck.

Here’s what is real: our fundraising deadlines and the facts we give you
about this race. There is urgency, yes, because we’re just nine months out
from Election Day, and that means we have to start building our campaign
right now. We’ve been outraised by another candidate in this race, so we
need to strategically plan how to catch up and stretch our dollars
further.

Our end of quarter deadlines are some of the most important, as we have to
publicly report how much we raise every three months. But our monthly
internal goals help us hit those quarterly goals, and we base our internal
budget on our monthly revenue.

Today is the 30th, so tomorrow at midnight we’ll be checking the numbers
and seeing where we’re at and how much we can scale up our campaign. [ [link removed] ]So
truly, whatever zip code you’re in, I’d be so appreciative of your
support!

Thanks for reading, and thanks for supporting our campaign.
