John, apologies for the longer email, but we have an important update on Barbara Lee's campaign for Senate: 

In just five days, Congresswoman Barbara Lee's fundraising numbers for the quarter will be locked in and go public for everyone to see – but we're pacing behind where we should be for the quarter.

John, we need one final push to get us back on track. That's why we're setting a goal to raise $150,000 before our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline – but we can only do it with your support.

Here's why falling short is not an option: Barbara Lee is exactly the kind of progressive fighter that Republicans fear most. Not only does she have decades of experience fighting to push the needle for progress forward, but she would also bring the voice of Black women back to the Senate, where it has been sorely missed – and that terrifies the GOP.

That's why they're working hard to keep her from carrying her progressive fight to the Senate. The moment our fundraising numbers are made public, Republicans across the nation will pore over the data – and if they see that we've fallen short, they'll use all of their resources to stop us. 

John, we can't let that happen – America deserves a fighter like Barbara Lee. But with experts saying this will be one of the most expensive and competitive Senate primaries in history, we must count on this powerful grassroots community.

So please, can we count on you to rush a donation of $5 or more before our FEC end-of-quarter deadline? Congresswoman Barbara Lee is ready to fight for you in the Senate – but she can only do that if we dig deep right now.

Thank you for being a part of our historic campaign.

Team Lee
