Hey there — it’s Sharice. We’ve got a pretty important fundraising deadline at midnight tonight, and we need one last push to hit our fundraising goal. Can you help?

I know getting an email like this while you’re trying to go about your Saturday — and probably thinking about something other than politics — isn’t likely to brighten your mood. And truth be told, I’m not sitting here with the world’s biggest smile on my face either!

The simple fact is, the attacks have started earlier in KS-03 this year, and we have to adjust our strategy accordingly — which, I’m sure to your frustration and definitely to mine, means we need to increase our fundraising goals.

I want you to know that I’m more committed than ever to making progress on the work I came to Congress to get done — protecting abortion rights, defending our democracy, and making life better for folks in every corner of Kansas.

If you’re still with me, I’d appreciate any help you can provide. But regardless of whether you’re able to chip in right now, I’m grateful that you’re on this team and glad to have you in my corner.

Thanks, and have a great rest of your day.
