My team and I have set our first 2024 fundraising benchmark, and I’ve got to tell you: It’s a doozy.

We need to raise $50,000 before the end of January, and if you’ll bear with me for just a minute, I’ll explain why we arrived at this number, and why it’s absolutely mission critical.

But if you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to read this whole email (no hard feelings!), please know that I wouldn’t be asking if this weren’t crucial to winning this race: Would you please consider donating $25 to help us start the election year on the right foot?

When we come up with fundraising goals, we’re not just pulling numbers out of a hat. There are loads of factors that go into a decision like this.

For example: We know we’re going up against a multi-millionaire opponent who doesn’t need to fundraise, so that means our campaign needs to be centered around grassroots outreach — it’s our edge, and it’s how we will win.

Hitting fundraising benchmarks like our $50,000 January goal means we can knock on doors, make phone calls, recruit and train volunteers — anything and everything possible to get our Maryland-first message in front of voters.

But coming up short of our goals puts us in a tough spot, because every voter we don’t reach is a missed opportunity in a race that’s going to come down to the wire.

That’s why I’m committed to starting 2024 off with a surge of momentum, and it’s why I’m asking you for your support right now: Can I count on you to chip in $25 so we can outmaneuver my opponent’s outrageous spending advantage?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Thank you,
