John,

Our mid-month deadline is tonight at midnight, and my team says we’re only $2,329 from our goal.

We can’t lose sight of what we’re fighting for -- a Maricopa County that puts professional law enforcement, public safety and the well-being of our community first.

And we can't lose sight of what we're up against -- a convicted criminal raising almost all his dollars from out-of-state donors in an attempt to return to the abuses of the past. We’re relying on people like you to help build a movement that can defeat our opposition and continue moving Maricopa County forward.

John, we’ve only got a few hours left to reach our mid-month goal and ensure we have the resources necessary to take on Arpaio and win in November. Will you help by contributing before midnight to help us close the gap?

Thank you for your help,

-- Sheriff Paul Penzone

---------- PREVIOUS MESSAGE ----------

John,

This race is heating up -- just look at some of the coverage on our opponent:

While Sheriff Penzone is doing his job -- enhancing public safety, rebuilding trust with the community, and moving Maricopa County forward, his opponent -- a convicted criminal -- is busy raising money any way he can in an effort to challenge Sheriff Penzone in November.

But Arpaio’s message isn’t working in Arizona. That’s why he has been forced to turn to out-of-state donors and special interests. According to campaign finance reports, only 1 out of every 8 of his donations last quarter came from Arizonans.

Sheriff Penzone is prioritizing the needs of the community around him -- not whichever outside influence can write the biggest check. That’s why it’s so important for us to re-elect Sheriff Penzone, and that’s why we need your help today.

We’re setting a mid-month fundraising goal of $7,000 to make up ground the right way -- through the strength of Arizonans like you who value professional law enforcement and refuse to return to the abuses of the past. Please take a moment and donate today to keep our campaign Maricopa Strong.

Thank you for your support,

-- Team Penzone
