We'll keep this brief, John.

Earlier today, Andy reached out about our 60-day pre-general reporting deadline. That means all of our fundraising numbers will be going public. Since then, supporters from across the Commonwealth have stepped up to help us finish the reporting period on a strong note.

We just need one final push before midnight to ensure we show Andy's opponent and his super PAC allies that we have what it takes to win. Can we count on you? Join the hundreds of supporters who have chipped in today to help us before our filing deadline at midnight. Together, we can win this tough race and protect Kentucky's progress.

Hey folks,

Tonight at midnight is the biggest deadline our campaign has faced yet – the 60-day pre-general reporting deadline. I need your help to ensure we put up strong numbers to show my McConnell-protégé opponent that we have what it takes to win this tough race.

If you're ready to help us protect Kentucky's progress, you can chip in before our midnight deadline here now. → https://secure.actblue.com/donate/beshear-sept-23?refcode2=personal

Otherwise, let me explain where this race stands:

Election experts are predicting this will be the closest race in the entire country this November, and Politico is calling the match-up between me and my opponent "dramatically close."

I'm not surprised, team. I won the race for governor in 2019 by just over 5,000 votes. We always knew this race would be just as close.

That's why I'm also not surprised that my opponent and his allies are spending millions to attack me. They think their deep pockets can buy this race and undo all the progress we've made. We can't let that happen.

I was able to beat the odds and win in 2019 because of grassroots supporters like you. If we're going to do it again, I need you by my side from now until the polls close on Election Day.

So I'm asking, team: Will you please chip in before my reporting deadline at midnight tonight? I can't win this tough race and protect the progress we’ve made in Kentucky without you → https://secure.actblue.com/donate/beshear-sept-23?refcode2=personal

Thank you,
