[1]U.S. Senator Chris Murphy

I promised you that I would run my online fundraising differently. I promised you groundbreaking transparency. And so here’s what I’m going to do.

We calculated that we need 15,000 individual donations before the end of the month to hit our 2nd quarter fundraising goal. So I’m setting up a real-time thermometer to track our progress. This is synced directly into our ActBlue data, so we can’t game it and you can watch it in real time.

So I need your help. I’ll explain more in just a moment, but please consider making a donation of any amount right now to help us reach this goal before the FEC deadline. I would not ask if it wasn’t important.

Self-funding millionaire Republicans are making their mind up right now about whether they are going to jump in the race against me. And I know the gun lobby and other special interests are going to spend big in my race. So we need to show we are going to be ready.

This goal isn’t some random number with no accountability. This goal is based on what we need to raise this month to reach our goal for the quarter.

We looked at our current average donation, and the reality is it’s going to take about 15,000 individual donations this month to hit the number we need to hit. Yes, that’s an ambitious goal, and pulling back the curtain to let everybody track our progress publicly was not an easy decision.

It won’t be easy, not in the slightest. But this is achievable. If we each do just a little bit, then we’ll get there before we know it.

So please, can you pitch in today to help us make a dent in this goal? Every dollar will get put to work this summer to build power for our movement and help Democrats win up and down the ballot in 2024.

You can see for yourself that we’re quite a long way off from this goal. Am I nervous? You bet. If we fall short, everyone will know.

But I know this is also achievable because I’ve seen what this team can do. We did about 13k online donations in March — right before the last FEC deadline. So let’s go.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
