John, at the end of the month, our campaign will face a critical deadline.

After September 30th, we will publicly report our quarterly fundraising numbers to the Federal Election Commission, and everyone — from the Washington Republicans targeting Emilia to the political pundits calling our race a pure toss-up — will look through our report to gauge whether our grassroots team has what it takes to bring home another historic victory next November.

To ensure we can put forward the strongest possible fundraising report, our team has set an ambitious goal of raising $20,000 in September. All eyes will be on Northeast Ohio, John, so we can’t afford to fall short. Is there any amount you can chip in today to help us get a head start on our end-of-quarter goal?

Last November, it was the continuous support of this grassroots team that enabled us to defy the odds and bring home a win for the Birthplace of Champions.

Our campaign wasn’t fueled by the right-wing dark-money groups that propped up Emilia’s opponent. Instead, we were powered by hardworking Ohio families who chipped in what they could, when they could, because they believed a better future for Northeast Ohio was possible.

Now, as MAGA Republicans aim to flip OH-13 to hold on to their fragile Majority, we need to show that we’re up for the challenge once again. But we can’t do that without your help, John.

This end-of-quarter deadline will be a defining moment for our re-election campaign, so we’re asking for your full support. Will you pitch in $5, $25, or whatever makes sense for you to help us chip away at our $20,000 September goal?

Thank you so much,

Emilia Sykes Finance Team
