Team, I feel like it’s important that instead of hearing this from a member of my staff, you hear it directly from me:

We came up juuuust short of our February fundraising goal.

I’m still feeling optimistic though, because we didn’t miss our mark by a lot — but a race this close is a game of inches, so it’s critical to our success that we don’t let this take the wind out of our sails as we head towards our first FEC filing deadline of 2024 at the end of March.

A strong start to this month would get us right back in the swing of things, and nothing could get us back on track faster than a couple of big fundraising days. So here’s what I’m asking: Would you please consider making a quick grassroots donation to help us get back in a groove?

The reality is that my opponents don’t have the grassroots support we do, but what they do have is personal wealth. And a lot of it.

In fact, one of my opponents has already spent tens of millions of dollars of his own money on ads to boost his campaign. 

But this grassroots team has been breaking fundraising records left and right ever since we first launched, and winning this race is going to require that we maintain that pace.

Hitting fundraising goals allows us to hire and train more staff, ramp up outreach, and puts us in prime position the closer we get to Election Day. The flipside is that falling short means missing out on critical opportunities to connect with voters.

Our campaign is built on small-dollar donations, not million-dollar checks. Can you please chip in just $25 right away so we can get back to breaking records, crushing fundraising goals, and setting the stage to WIN this competitive race?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Thank you for always having my back, folks.
