This is House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark. I want to take a moment to explain why this end-of-year fundraising push is so important, especially for my colleague, Jared Golden.
At the end of each quarter, fundraising numbers are submitted by campaigns to the Federal Election Commission (or the FEC), which are then published for everyone to see.
And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. The establishment GOP and their megadonors are watching, especially now that we’ll be entering an election year.
Posting strong numbers, including the total number of grassroots donors who support this important work, will showcase the strength and momentum behind taking back the House and putting Democrats in charge.
On the flip side, showing any signs of vulnerability could invite attacks from the right. This is particularly true for Jared Golden — he’s one of the top targets of the GOP establishment who are raising record-breaking amounts of money to flip this seat and expand their majority in the House.
The millions the GOP raises will directly translate to the size and scope of attack ads they’ll lob against Democrats, so grassroots support has a huge impact in our ability to fight back.
Hitting this goal means that Jared Golden and I will have the resources we need to respond to any attacks, build winning campaigns, and flip the House blue.
Together, we’ll do our part to re-elect leaders like Jared Golden who will work tirelessly to solve real problems, cut costs for everyday Americans, and protect our freedoms.
Thanks for joining in, we can’t do it without your support.
