Hi John, it’s Dan here.

I know Election Day may feel like a long way away, and I’m sure it can be difficult to understand why we need to fundraise this early. So I thought I would take a moment and explain why the off-year is so important for our campaign:

As Jared’s campaign manager, I can tell you that the off-year is all about building up resources, growing our team, and spreading our message early.

None of that comes cheap, John. We need to make sure we have the necessary funds to keep Jared in office, because this is an ultra-competitive district that will continue to be the target of increasing levels of outside cash. It is hard to believe, but GOP aligned dark money groups have already spent thousands in attack ads against Jared this year, and we know many more attacks are on the way.

We need to raise $10,000 by Saturday night to reach our mid-month target. Can you chip in right now to make sure we have the resources we need to re-elect Jared and take on whatever the GOP throws our way?

At this point in the race, everything builds on itself. if we falter now, it could mean that we’ll continue facing problems down the line. As a grassroots campaign, we’re counting on this team to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Now that I’ve laid it all out for you, I hope you’ll consider chipping in even just a few dollars today to help us close our $10,000 gap and grow a campaign that can and will win here in ME-02.

Thanks for being on our team,

Dan Jenkins
Campaign Manager
Jared Golden for Congress
