Team – before you sign off for the weekend:
I’ve said this before and I know I’m going to keep saying it throughout my career – I’m not a huge fan of asking people for money. There are so many causes, organizations, and great candidates out there, and look – I’m self-aware enough to know that you just can’t give money every single time you get an email asking you to!
But after two successful campaigns, I’ve learned a lot about why we need to make these asks. Winning an election, no matter how you slice it, takes a lot of resources.
And the things we do to win elections – knocking on doors, running ads online and on TV, building up websites, making phone calls, talking to people out in the community – are meaningful. Bringing people into the electoral process – empowering folks to feel connected to their leaders, to know that they have a real stake in their leaders and our government… it’s a big deal.
So before this email gets too long and you hit that delete button – to help fund that critical voter outreach, will you pitch in $5, $10, or whatever you can to my re-election campaign?
Like they do every month, my team is spending the last few days of April making sure we’re on track for our big-picture fundraising needs between now and November – and without your support, the road to a successful Election Day is a lot longer.
So if you can, I’m asking you to be a part of this work.
Please, chip in any amount before the end of April, and help build up a strong and inclusive re-election campaign that will bring new voters into the process.
Thank you so much for anything you can give. I really appreciate it.
-Sara
