John, I wish I didn’t have to ask for your hard-earned money.
But right now, I have one of the best opportunities to defeat a Republican Congressman anywhere in the country — and I need your help. I’m a former teacher, so I can’t rely on special interests to fund me like Don Bacon, so I’m asking you personally: Will you chip in $15 before midnight? I need another 300 gifts before midnight to hit my fundraising goal — and it’s going to be a fight to the finish. >>
John, let me explain how I know everyday people, like you and me, can win this race.
Growing up, my family didn’t have much money.
My dad sold hot dogs, drove a taxi, and worked on a factory line to make ends meet.
When I told my parents I was running for State Senate, they didn’t believe I could win.
You see, they’re originally from Perú, where only the elite run for office.
But I knew I could win and prove to them that America is different.
That was a really tough race. But I won because grassroots supporters like you believed we needed more everyday people in office. We showed everyone that you don’t have to have a personal fortune to get elected — and now I need your help to do it again. I need 300 gifts to hit my goal and catch up to Don Bacon’s special interest cash. Can I count on you to rush in $15? >>
John, I know the tough choices every American faces.
I know what it’s like to live without a safety net.
I know what it’s like to maybe not have the money to donate today.
But I promise that in Congress, I will fight for everyday people like us regardless.
That’s why I don’t like asking you for your hard-earned money.
But if I didn’t at least try, I wouldn’t have a shot at winning this race.
I’m so grateful for the support you’ve shown me. I know money around this time of year can be tough. But I also know that if we all band together, we can defy the odds and win this race for everyday folks across the country. John, can I count on your $15 before midnight to help me get there? >>
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Tony
