Friends -

I'm reaching out this morning to respectfully ask if you can make a contribution — of $3 or anything you can — to my campaign today.

The reason why is simple: Tonight at midnight, our team's mid-month fundraising drive is coming to a close, and we need a big day today if we're going to hit our 1,000 grassroots donations goal before it ends.

Now, to be completely transparent with you, tonight is not our official, legally-required FEC fundraising deadline. That's not for another two weeks — this is an internal target we've set for ourselves.

You see, every month my team works out how many small-dollar, grassroots contributions we need to bring in to meet our overall goals and fund a winning campaign.

Ideally, we'd be halfway through the month, and halfway to where we need to be. But that's not the reality — and as of this morning, we're still pacing behind.

The truth is we need to know where things stand for the rest of this month, the rest of this year, and the rest of this campaign — and then, with your support, I can continue fighting for our shared progressive values in Congress.

That's why we launched our mid-month fundraising drive earlier this week, and it's why tonight's unofficial deadline is still a very important one for our campaign.

So please:

Can I count on you to make your first online donation — of $3 or any amount — before tonight's unofficial mid-month fundraising deadline ends at midnight? I wouldn't ask if it were not so important to our campaign's continued success.

If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your contribution will go through immediately:

Once the big money starts pouring into Minnesota's 5th district to try and defeat our movement, it's not going to be a surprise.

Winning in 2024 means laying the groundwork here in 2023 — and that means all of us standing together before this month's FEC deadline.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate knowing that you're a part of this team. Thank you in advance.

In solidarity,

Ilhan
