John,
I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you today: our 4th quarter fundraising numbers are in, and thanks to supporters like you, we had a wildly successful end-of-year haul! This is a testament to our grassroots movement – a movement fueled by the people, for the people.
Here's something remarkable: 90% of our donations were $250 or less. This shows the power of our collective effort, where every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. This is what true democratic fundraising looks like, and it's all because of folks like you!
As we approach the April primary, it's crucial to keep this momentum going. Our movement thrives on the energy and dedication of individuals like you. That's why I'm asking for your help today. Can you chip in $10, $20, or whatever seems reasonable to help us maintain our strong position? Every dollar you contribute goes directly towards building our campaign, spreading our message, and making sure we win the next election!
I know we’re celebrating, but I have to be real with you today – we are still up against massive challenges. Despite our great quarter, we expect to be outspent by a ratio of 10-to-1 or more. Our opponents, backed by big money and even using Republican funds, are gearing up to spend heavily against us. But we won't be deterred. We've faced these odds before and emerged victorious, and with your continued support, we can do it again.
The stakes are high, and the opposition is determined. They have big money, but we have something far more powerful – we have you. Remember, this movement is only possible because of your tireless support, and I can’t thank you enough for that! We are truly in this fight together!
Together, we are building a movement for the future of our community. A movement for the future of our kids, our loved ones, our neighbors, and for our climate. Thank you for standing with me, for believing in our cause, and for your unwavering support.
Let's show them what people power can do! Let's go get this win again!
In solidarity & with much gratitude,
Summer Lee
