John, during my first campaigns for the Newark city council and mayor, a fundraising cash crunch 5 days before our deadline meant a lot more time on the phone for yours truly:

No matter how much things change, some always stay the same — and with just 5 days until our first end-of-month deadline of the new FEC quarter, I’m once again counting on this team of grassroots supporters to help us close our fundraising gap before the month ends.

But instead of calling each and every one of you, I’m just hoping we can have as many people as possible click this link to contribute $5 with just 5 days to go until our deadline: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cab-jul2023-em?amount=5

Sometimes I wonder where we would be without the millions of you who have chipped in via ActBlue to help counter the billions that Mitch McConnell and his dark money allies have spent trying to buy our elections in recent years.

And don’t get me wrong, we still take paper checks and deposit them at the bank. But there’s simply no equivalent to the mobilizing power of thousands of grassroots supporters responding to emails like this one.

We are defending a 51-49 Senate majority and the White House, and can retake the House by flipping just a handful of seats.

I’m committed to building the strongest grassroots campaign possible to accomplish this, but I need your help.

Will you chip in $5 with just 5 days until our end-of-month deadline? Your support is critical.

Thanks for everything you do.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
