John, Julie is right. Our opponent has dark-money outsiders propping up his campaign, but we rely on grassroots donors like you. It’s important that we end January strong. Can you rush a donation to help us close our $31k budget gap before Wednesday at midnight?

John, it’s been quite a month. 

I participated in my first debate for the Democratic nomination - and because my expertise and experience far outweighs anyone else’s, my opponent resorted to GOP-style attacks against me. 

My opponent's campaign is run by out-of-state consultants who are telling him to fight dirty. I need your help to counter these attacks. 

Early voting begins in 22 days, so every single fundraising deadline is crucial. My team tells me we need to raise another $31,000 by Wednesday at midnight in order to hit our goal. Can you help by rushing a donation right away?

These attacks are a clear attempt to mislead the voters. John, we have to make sure it doesn’t work. 

Thanks for standing with me, 

Julie
