John — we’re going to take a risk today and give you some brutal honesty. This is only going to a select group of Ruben’s supporters, so please. Don’t share.

Take a look at this:

This chart shows Ruben’s drop-off in fundraising from the end of July into the beginning of August. Donations always fall off a bit between an end-of-month push and the start of a new month.

Now, here’s the brutally honest part of this message: This drop-off is much worse than we thought it would be.

If it continues, this could be a disaster for the campaign.

Giving you this information was a risk. But we did it because we hope that you’ll see how important your support really is.

Your early support has been a huge help to the campaign, and it’s appreciated by all of us. But again, brutal honesty: we need you to make your first donation today.

So, please: Make contribution #1. Take that next step and help set Ruben on a path to victory in 2024. Any amount — even one dollar — helps us get back on track. We really need you.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.

We have a real chance to do something important in 2024 — we can beat Kyrsten Sinema AND Kari Lake and put a true Democrat in the Senate.

But we can’t do any of that without your help.

So please, if you can, make that donation.

Thank you,

Ruben Gallego for Arizona
