John, when you grow up like I did, you learn not to take any opportunity for granted.
I was raised in foster care in redlined neighborhoods, and every system designed to help me
failed me instead. So I learned the hard way that, more often than not, we make our own luck in this life.
But John, leap years are different. And tomorrow’s “extra” day is an opportunity we cannot take for granted.
I know we’re lucky to have these extra 24 hours to hit our End of Month goal – but we have to use every single one of them to the fullest. I’m counting on you to make the most of this opportunity, so please, John: Will you chip in to close my $21,913 gap and power our movement for progress in Maryland before the deadline? >>
I know I’m running a different kind of campaign. I have no choice – while my opponents come home to mansions with 16 bathrooms, I’m waiting for my turn with the car my adult daughters and I all share. While other candidates can write themselves checks, I’m hustling for $5 or $10 at a time.
With these kinds of stakes, an extra day to fundraise means so much more to me than it would for a “typical” candidate. And if we can win this, the impact we’ll have will hopefully mean more, too.
But winning on Election Day depends on having you with me right now, seizing every single moment of luck, opportunity, and organizing we can find or make.
The future is on the line, John, and I know we’re not gonna let it slip by like any other day. Please, chip in $25 or as much as you can right now to hit our End of Month goal by tomorrow’s deadline and keep MD-06 blue for the people! >>
So grateful,
Tekesha Martinez
