John, here’s the truth — we’re emailing you because we’re behind on our January fundraising goal for Lauren’s reelection campaign, and by making a contribution of any amount you would make a bigger impact than you may realize:

We have missed a handful of our monthly fundraising goals this election cycle. Last year, we made do but had to cut back when we should have been expanding our campaign.

That means we’ve had to increase the number of emails we’re sending and ask you to contribute more than usual.

A major portion of our contributions come from grassroots donations to emails like this one. Falling short this year could leave a gap in our budget that we won’t have time to make up in the final months leading up to the election.

We aren’t trying to scare you — we just want to make sure you know how important your support is to Lauren and our team’s success.

Falling behind now makes it harder for us to grow our campaign in these critical early months of the election year. That’s why we’re pushing hard to reach this month’s fundraising goal.

Can Lauren count on you to make sure we don’t miss our January fundraising deadline and fall short of our goals? Add a donation of $4 or more and help us reelect Lauren:
