John,

I know we’ve been emailing a lot lately, but I just wanted to reach out with a quick ask before the weekend.

We’re approaching our first major fundraising deadline at the end of this month, so my team and I are relying on grassroots support now more than ever before. One of the biggest lessons I learned from last year’s race is the value of time and resources in a campaign. I know the work we do and the funds we raise now will allow us to build a strong foundation for what’s to come.

With so much at stake in next year’s toss-up election, we can’t risk slowing down now. Can I count on you to chip in $5 or whatever you can today?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh
