It's March, so that means we're right around the corner from our important Federal Election Commission deadline: At the end of this month, we’ll have an ‘end-of-quarter’ deadline, closing our “Q1”, or, the first quarter of the election year.

Let me quickly explain what this actually means.

Each year, candidates running for federal office face four quarterly deadlines: March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st. After these deadlines pass, so in this case, coming up on June 30th, we are legally required to report how much money we’ve raised, and from how many individual contributions.

These quarterly deadlines are pored over by political folks and the press as an indicator of the strength of a campaign. Have lots of early support from a large number of individual supporters? Your campaign appears on track. Not meeting internal goals and only raising from a few folks? Not a great start to the election year.

But for a campaign like mine, this deadline is particularly important because I’m not taking any money from corporate PACs to fund this campaign.

It’s a pledge I made in my very first campaign for elected office in 2018, and it’s one I’ve stuck to. That’s because I never wanted anyone to wonder if I voted a certain way because of donations a corporate PAC made. But it makes donations from individuals that much more important.

I’m therefore working hard to ensure the FEC report we file after March 31 shows the strength of our grassroots supporters. And that strength comes from people like you donating to emails like these.

So please, will you consider making a contribution to my Senate campaign today?
