Hey John,

My finance team let me know we set a fundraising goal to raise $250,000 to respond to radio ads paid for by a super PAC supporting Mitch McConnell’s handpicked candidate.

I’ll cut to the chase: We’re not on track to meet this goal.

I’m not here to beg for a donation, but falling short right now has real consequences for our grassroots campaign—especially now that a super PAC is dropping some serious cash on my potential opponent’s behalf.

I hate asking for money (if I could go without it, I would!) but we can’t afford to be drowned out over the airwaves.

Our deadline expires tonight at midnight and I’m counting on this grassroots team to help us get in front of this before it’s too late. Click this link or hit one of these buttons below to split a donation between my campaign and the Voter Protection Project.

Thanks for being a part of the team. I know these fundraising emails can get a little annoying, but they’re important because we depend on your support to compete with super PACs like this one.

—Jon
