John,
This is a real screenshot from Team Bowman's fundraising dashboard — showing how many grassroots donations have come in for June:
As you can see, we started the month really strong, but our fundraising has slowed down over the past few days. So why are we sharing this with you?
For one, Jamaal and our entire team value transparency as a principle of our campaign. We want you to know because we're not just asking for donations for no reason. We genuinely rely on the grassroots donations that show up on this dashboard to power our whole campaign operation.
So, in order to turn things around and finish June strong, we're asking:
We hope that this window into our finances helps you understand why we send fundraising emails like this. We depend on grassroots donations to fund this campaign to keep Jamaal in office, and every single donation we receive makes a big difference (especially during slow periods)!
So, if you can donate today, it'd be a huge help. And if not, we're glad you're reading our messages and remain part of this movement.
Thank you for your support 💙
Team Bowman
