To put it bluntly, we could be tracking to fall short.
John,
I'll be the first to admit this was NOT the email I hoped to send you with just a few hours until our end-of-month deadline.
But I'm worried our numbers just aren't where they need to be to hit our fundraising goal before midnight. To put it bluntly, we could be tracking to fall short.
While we expect donations to slow down a bit over the summer, we *still* haven't seen the uptick in online donations we were hoping to see this week. And unless things turn around, that could pose a risk to our long-term plans to defend our blue Senate majority, especially PA’s seats.
Now, with just hours to go, there's realistically only one scenario in which we can make up for lost time, close our fundraising gap, and sustain John’s work:
I just crunched the numbers again, and we can still meet our goal before midnight if around 15 more folks from Philadelphia are able to chip in even a modest amount. Can I put you down for a last-minute $5 donation in these final, crucial hours?

According to your donor file, you have yet to make a contribution to John this month. If you've been considering showing your support, we'd deeply appreciate you stepping up in this big moment. It'd say a lot about how you're ready to have John's back.
That's why I'm really hoping that you'll be among the 15 more folks from Philadelphia we need to donate — and that you'll dig deep and pitch in for the first time this month.
If enough people like you decide to chip in before 11:59 p.m., we've got a real shot at closing the gap on our fundraising goal before we close the books on July. What do you say? Can you donate any amount before midnight?
Thank you,
Eric 💙
